`Console` constructor checks that `stdout.write()` is a function but
does not do an equivalent check for `stderr.write()`. If `stderr` is not
specified in the constructor, then `stderr` is set to be `stdout`.
However, if `stderr` is specified, but `stderr.write()` is not a
function, then an exception is not thrown until `console.error()` is
called.
This change adds the same check for 'stderr' in the constructor that is
there for `stdout`. If `stderr` fails the check, then a `TypeError` is
thrown.
Took the opportunity to copyedit the `console` doc a little too.

Per https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1817, there are many modules
that currently abuse the private `_events` property on EventEmitter.
One of the ways it is used is to determine if a particular event is
being listened for. This adds a simple `eventNames()` method that
returns an array of the events with currently registered listeners.

The current documentation for writable.write only specifies that the
callback is called "once the data has been fully handled". It is
ambiguous whether this means "successfully handled" and, if so,
whether the callback is called if the data can not be successfully
handled (i.e. an error occurs).
The ambiguity is not only in the documentation. The stream class
implementations differ on this point. stream.Writable invokes the
callback with any errors that occur during parameter checking or
during calls to _write. However, not all classes return all errors
to _write. zlib.Zlib does pass argument and state errors to the
_write (_transform) callback, but does not pass data errors.
http.OutgoingMessage passes argument type errors and some other types
of errors, but not all.
This inconsistency is behind issue #1746 and, I suspect, other issues
in client code which passes a callback to write.
This commit takes no position on whether the callback error behavior
should changed, but simply attempts to document the current behavior
in a way that is open to changes so that users are not caught by
surprise.

The encoding is ignored if value is not a String. All other non-Buffer
values are coerced to a uint32.
A multibyte strings will simply be copied into the Buffer until the
number of bytes run out. Meaning partial strings can be left behind:
Buffer(3).fill('\u0222');
// returns: <Buffer c8 a2 c8>
