Main changes:
- Replace current HTML anchor generation to match
header anchor generation in Github markdown.
- Remove unnecessary double namespacing on generated anchors/links (E.G.
`esm.md#loaders` instead of `esm.md#esm_loaders`).
- Anchors/links are automatically prefixed with their respective modules
when concatenated for usage in `all.html`.
Benefits:
- All anchor links within and between markdown API docs actually work.
- Adding new anchor links no longer requires contributors to generate
the HTML docs first to look up the correct anchors.
- Anchors are much shorter.
- All previous anchor links are preserved by generating hidden legacy
anchors.

Notable Changes:
Diagnostics channel (experimental module):
`diagnostics_channel` is a new experimental module that provides an API
to create named channels to report arbitrary message data for
diagnostics purposes.
The module was initially introduced in Node.js v15.1.0 and is
backported to v14.17.0 to enable testing it at a larger scale.
With `diagnostics_channel`, Node.js core and module authors can publish
contextual data about what they are doing at a given time. This could
be the hostname and query string of a mysql query, for example. Just
create a named channel with `dc.channel(name)` and call
`channel.publish(data)` to send the data to any listeners to that
channel.
```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');
MySQL.prototype.query = function query(queryString, values, callback) {
// Broadcast query information whenever a query is made
channel.publish({
query: queryString,
host: this.hostname,
});
this.doQuery(queryString, values, callback);
};
```
Channels are like one big global event emitter but are split into
separate objects to ensure they get the best performance. If nothing is
listening to the channel, the publishing overhead should be as close to
zero as possible. Consuming channel data is as easy as using
`channel.subscribe(listener)` to run a function whenever a message is
published to that channel.
```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');
channel.subscribe(({ query, host }) => {
console.log(`mysql query to ${host}: ${query}`);
});
```
The data captured can be used to provide context for what an app is
doing at a given time. This can be used for things like augmenting
tracing data, tracking network and filesystem activity, logging
queries, and many other things. It's also a very useful data source
for diagnostics tools to provide a clearer picture of exactly what the
application is doing at a given point in the data they are presenting.

Experimental support for `AbortController` and `AbortSignal`:
Node.js 14.17.0 adds experimental partial support for `AbortController`
and `AbortSignal`.
Both constructors can be enabled globally using the
`--experimental-abortcontroller` flag.
Additionally, several Node.js APIs have been updated to support
`AbortSignal` for cancellation.
It is not mandatory to use the built-in constructors with them. Any
spec-compliant third-party alternatives should be compatible.
`AbortSignal` support was added to the following methods:
* `child_process.exec`
* `child_process.execFile`
* `child_process.fork`
* `child_process.spawn`
* `dgram.createSocket`
* `events.on`
* `events.once`
* `fs.readFile`
* `fs.watch`
* `fs.writeFile`
* `http.request`
* `https.request`
* `http2Session.request`
* The promisified variants of `setImmediate` and `setTimeout`

For consumers that aren't interested in *why* a `statSync` call failed,
allocating and throwing an exception is an unnecessary expense. This PR
adds an option that will cause it to return `undefined` in such cases
instead.
As a motivating example, the JavaScript & TypeScript language service
shared between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code is stuck with
synchronous file IO for architectural and backward-compatibility
reasons. It frequently needs to speculatively check for the existence
of files and directories that may not exist (and cares about file vs
directory, so `existsSync` is insufficient), but ignores file system
entries it can't access, regardless of the reason.
Benchmarking the language service is difficult because it's so hard to
get good coverage of both code bases and user behaviors, but, as a
representative metric, we measured batch compilation of a few hundred
popular projects (by star count) from GitHub and found that, on average,
we saved about 1-2% of total compilation time. We speculate that the
savings could be even more significant in interactive (language service
or watch mode) scenarios, where the same (non-existent) files need to be
polled over and over again. It's not a huge improvement, but it's a
very small change and it will affect a lot of users (and CI runs).
For reference, our measurements were against `v12.x` (3637a061a at the
time) on an Ubuntu Server desktop with an SSD.

Replace "is considered 'special'" with "represents a device". The latter
is more clear and is derived from the stat() man page. The former is
also derived from the man page, but is ambiguous because:
* "considered" introduces doubt. Is it, or isn't it?
* "special" is never defined. "represents a device" communicates more
meaning.
* "special" is in scare-quotes, introducing more doubt as to what
exactly it means.

ECMAScript Modules - Experimental Warning Removal:
- module: remove experimental modules warning
(Guy Bedford) [#31974](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/31974)
In Node.js 13 we removed the need to include the --experimental-modules
flag, but when running EcmaScript Modules in Node.js, this would still
result in a warning ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is
experimental.
As of Node.js 14 there is no longer this warning when using ESM in
Node.js. However, the ESM implementation in Node.js remains
experimental. As per our stability index: “The feature is not subject
to Semantic Versioning rules. Non-backward compatible changes or
removal may occur in any future release.” Users should be cautious when
using the feature in production environments.
Please keep in mind that the implementation of ESM in Node.js differs
from the developer experience you might be familiar with. Most
transpilation workflows support features such as optional file
extensions or JSON modules that the Node.js ESM implementation does not
support. It is highly likely that modules from transpiled environments
will require a certain degree of refactoring to work in Node.js. It is
worth mentioning that many of our design decisions were made with two
primary goals. Spec compliance and Web Compatibility. It is our belief
that the current implementation offers a future proof model to
authoring ESM modules that paves the path to Universal JavaScript.
Please read more in our documentation.
The ESM implementation in Node.js is still experimental but we do believe
that we are getting very close to being able to call ESM in Node.js
“stable”. Removing the warning is a huge step in that direction.
New V8 ArrayBuffer API:

It is expected that there will be an ABI mismatch on ARM between the

interact with `std::shared_ptr`. This is expected to be fixed in a

effects. E.g., `undefined` became the string `'undefined'`. It was
expected to fail or to end up as empty string.
Now all input is validated to be either some type of array buffer
view or a string. That way it's always clear what the user intents.
