The use of dashes -- in general, but especially in our docs -- can be
problematic. It is used inconsistently and there is always another form
of punctuation that is as good or better for the situation. In an effort
to reduce the number of variations we use to display the same types of
information, remove the various uses of dashes from the documentation.

Adds the ability to `import` or `require` a package from within its
own source code. This allows tests and examples to be written using
the package name, making them easier to reuse by consumers of the
package.
Assuming the `name` field in `package.json` is set to `my-pkg`, its
test could use `require('my-pkg')` or `import 'my-pkg'` even if
there's no `node_modules/my-pkg` while testing the package itself.
An important difference between this and relative specifiers like
`require('../')` is that self-references use the public interface
of the package as defined in the `exports` field while relative
specifiers don't.
This behavior is guarded by a new experimental flag
(`--experimental-resolve-self`).

Notable changes:
* assert:

This adds long-requested methods for asynchronously interacting and
iterating through directory entries by using `uv_fs_opendir`,
`uv_fs_readdir`, and `uv_fs_closedir`.
`fs.opendir()` and friends return an `fs.Dir`, which contains methods
for doing reads and cleanup. `fs.Dir` also has the async iterator
symbol exposed.
The `read()` method and friends only return `fs.Dirent`s for this API.
Having a entry type or doing a `stat` call is deemed to be necessary in
the majority of cases, so just returning dirents seems like the logical
choice for a new api.
Reading when there are no more entries returns `null` instead of a
dirent. However the async iterator hides that (and does automatic
cleanup).
The code lives in separate files from the rest of fs, this is done
partially to prevent over-pollution of those (already very large)
files, but also in the case of js allows loading into `fsPromises`.
Due to async_hooks, this introduces a new handle type of `DIRHANDLE`.
This PR does not attempt to make complete optimization of
this feature. Notable future improvements include:
- Moving promise work into C++ land like FileHandle.
- Possibly adding `readv()` to do multi-entry directory reads.
- Aliasing `fs.readdir` to `fs.scandir` and doing a deprecation.
