These changes affect the following functions and their synchronous
counterparts:
* fs.readFile()
* fs.writeFile()
* fs.appendFile()
If the first parameter is a uint32, it is treated as a file descriptor.
In all other cases, the original implementation is used to ensure
backwards compatibility. File descriptor ownership is never taken from
the user.
The documentation was adjusted to reflect these API changes. A note was
added to make the user aware of file descriptor ownership and the
conditions under which a file descriptor can be used by each of these
functions.
Tests were extended to test for file descriptor parameters under the
conditions noted in the relevant documentation.

Removed "Only FSEvents supports this type of file watching so it is
unlikely any additional platforms will be added soon."
Per @saghul, "FSEvents" refers to the OSX API, but since we added
Windows support it may not be unlikely that we add more.

As per the discussion in
https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/2093#discussion_r34343965, this
patch documents the behavior of calling fs.watchFile() with a path that
does not yet exist.
This patch also includes a test which checks if a file not present, the
callback is invoked at least once and if the file is created after
the callback is invoked, it will be invoked again with new stat
objects.

Documentation incorrectly used bracket notation for optional parameters.
This caused inconsistencies in usage because of examples like the
following:

Currently fs.watch does not have an option to specify if a directory
should be recursively watched for events across all subdirectories.
Several file watcher APIs support this. FSEvents on OS X > 10.5 is
one example. libuv has added support for FSEvents, but fs.watch had
no way to specify that a recursive watch was required.
fs.watch now has an additional boolean option 'recursive'. When set
to true, and when supported, fs.watch will return notifications for
the entire directory tree hierarchy rooted at the specified path.
Flags and modes aren't the same, symlinks are followed in all of the
path but the last component, docs should say something about what the
mode argument is for and when its used, fs.openSync should point to the
function that contains the docs for its args, as fs.writeSync does.
Prior, strings would first be converted to a Buffer before being written
to disk. Now the intermediary step has been removed.
Other changes of note:
* Class member "must_free" was added to req_wrap so to track if the
memory needs to be manually cleaned up after use.
* External String Resource support, so the memory will be used directly
instead of copying out the data.
* Docs have been updated to reflect that if position is not a number
then it will assume null. Previously it specified the argument must be
null, but that was not how the code worked. An attempt was made to
only support == null, but there were too many tests that assumed !=
number would be enough.
* Docs update show some of the write/writeSync arguments are optional.
