The --redirect-warnings command line argument allows process warnings
to be written to a specified file rather than printed to stderr.
Also adds an equivalent NODE_REDIRECT_WARNINGS environment variable.
If the specified file cannot be opened or written to for any reason,
the argument is ignored and the warning is printed to stderr.
If the file already exists, it will be appended to.

The HTTP Keep-Alive text was inconsistent. These changes follow the
following rules
* When referring to flag used in code, it should always be written using
backticks and in camel case. E.g. `keepAlive`.
* When referring to the mechanism Keep-Alive functionality as described
in the HTTP 1.1 RFC, it is written as 'HTTP Keep-Alive', without the
use of backticks.
* When referring to the request header, it should always use backticks
and be written as `Connection: keep-alive`.
This commit also includes some changes to how `http.Agent` is
referenced. When `Agent` is used as a reference to an object or
instance, backticks should always be used.
And lastly, the documentation about `Agent` behavior around HTTP
Keep-Alive has been clarified and improved.
