Detect it when source files in lib/ are not ASCII. Decode them as UTF-8
and store them as UTF-16 in the binary so they can be used as external
string resources without non-ASCII characters getting mangled.

Use zero-copy external string resources for storing the built-in JS
source code. Saves a few hundred kilobyte of memory and consistently
speeds up `benchmark/misc/startup.js` by 2.5%.
Everything old is new again! Commit 74954ce ("Add string class that
uses ExternalAsciiStringResource.") from 2011 did the same thing but
I removed that in 2013 in commit 34b0a36 ("src: don't use NewExternal()
with unaligned strings") because of a limitation in the V8 API.
V8 no longer requires that strings are aligned if they are one-byte
strings so it should be safe to re-enable external strings again.

As the minifier logic is not used at all, this patch removes the code

This change cleans up outstanding comments on #3032. It improves error
handling when no isolate file is provided and adds the --prof-process
flag to the node binary which executes the tick processor on the
provided isolate file.

These are the core changes that allow AIX to compile. There
are still some test failures as there are some patches needed for
libuv and npm that we'll need to contribute through those
communities but this set allows node to be built on AIX and
pass most of the core tests
The change in js2c is because AIX does not support $ in
identifier names. See the discussion/agreement in

Fix a regression that was introduced in commit 2db758c ("iojs: introduce
internal modules") where the computed id for "config.gypi" on Windows
was not "config" but an empty string.
With an empty string, the build succeeds but the binary is unusable:
startup.processConfig() in src/node.js chokes on the missing .config
property.

Internal modules can be used to share private code between
public modules without risk to expose private APIs to the
user.

Squashed commit of ca128f7dcd28cbcfba154c8577ed54d4aa71dd02 with
contributions from Mark Constable (markc@renta.net) and Daniel Gröber
(darklord@darkboxed.org).
Instead of installing the files in /usr/lib/node/libraries and loading them
from the file system, the files are built-in to the node executable.
However, they are only compiled on demand.
The reasoning is:
1. Allow for more complex internal javascript. In particular,
process.stdout and process.stdin can be js implemented streams.
2. Ease system installs. Loading from disk each time is unnecessary
overhead. Note that there is no "system" path for modules anymore. Only
$HOME/.node_libraries.
