Previously, a command with a short stdio array would result in the child's
stdout and stderr objects set to null. For example:
var c = child_process.spawn(cmd, args, {stdio: ['pipe']});
// results in c.stdout === null.
The expected behavior is the above line functioning the same as this one:
var c = child_process.spawn(cmd, args, {stdio: ['pipe', null, null]});
// provides correct (non-null) c.stdout; as does the above, after this fix.
The installer does what amounts to `cp -p`. If the node binary is in use at
the time of the copy, it'd fail with a ETXTBSY error. That's why it's unlinked
first now.
* honor the --without-waf and --without-npm configure switches
* a small logic bug made the installer script install to $PWD instead of
/usr/local if --prefix= was not passed to configure
This fixes the problem that calling pause() on a socket would not
actually prevent 'data' events from being emitted. It also replaces
the existing test by a more elaborate one.

The old installer was a JS script, which didn't work if node had been
cross-compiled for another architecture. Replace it with a python script.
Fixes #3807.
Problem: calling `server.listen()` (no port) on a net.Server triggered the
following libuv assertion:
node: ../deps/uv/src/unix/stream.c:406: uv__write: Assertion `fd_to_send >= 0'
failed.
Cause: uv_tcp_t handles are lazily initialized. Omitting the port made the
handle get initialized even more lazily. Too lazily - it wasn't initialized
when the handle was sent over to the child process.
Solution: implicitly bind to a random port in listen() when the port number
is omitted, it forces the handle to initialize. This is not a change in
behavior, listen() has always been identical to listen(0).
Fixes #3325.
AssertionError already inherits from Error above using util.inherits(),
so this extra line was redundant.
test/simple/test-assert.js already tests for `instanceof`, and still passes.
