pRtlGetVersion is not a thing. This text was likely a result of

Our docs have a mix of "hostname" and "host name" in prose.
Let's follow the usage of Unix man pages, RFCs, and most
professionally-edited sources, and use "host name" in prose and
"hostname" to refer to the command and in code.
Lint rule forthcoming.

Original text implied it returns physical cpu cores. This is misleading
as `os.cpus().length` is often used to get the CPU core count in
Node.js. In reality that will return the thread count which may not be
what the user intended.

* add constants for dlopen flags, which are needed
for dlopen's flag passing.
* introduce an optional parameter for process.dlopen(),
allowing to pass dlopen flags (using values from os.constants.dlopen).
If no flags are passed, the default behavior is to load the library
with RTLD_LAZY (perform lazy binding) and RTLD_LOCAL (symbols are
available only locally).
