The input was not validated so far and that caused unwanted side
effects. E.g., `undefined` became the string `'undefined'`. It was
expected to fail or to end up as empty string.
Now all input is validated to be either some type of array buffer
view or a string. That way it's always clear what the user intents.

This pull request makes fs.watch throw exception,
whenever it is used in an incompatible platform.
For this change following changes were made to api:
1.a new error type has been introduced.
2.fs.watch has been changed accordingly.
Users who use recursive on
non-windows and osx platforms,
will face a new exception.
For this reason, it's a breaking change.

This adds long-requested methods for asynchronously interacting and
iterating through directory entries by using `uv_fs_opendir`,
`uv_fs_readdir`, and `uv_fs_closedir`.
`fs.opendir()` and friends return an `fs.Dir`, which contains methods
for doing reads and cleanup. `fs.Dir` also has the async iterator
symbol exposed.
The `read()` method and friends only return `fs.Dirent`s for this API.
Having a entry type or doing a `stat` call is deemed to be necessary in
the majority of cases, so just returning dirents seems like the logical
choice for a new api.
Reading when there are no more entries returns `null` instead of a
dirent. However the async iterator hides that (and does automatic
cleanup).
The code lives in separate files from the rest of fs, this is done
partially to prevent over-pollution of those (already very large)
files, but also in the case of js allows loading into `fsPromises`.
Due to async_hooks, this introduces a new handle type of `DIRHANDLE`.
This PR does not attempt to make complete optimization of
this feature. Notable future improvements include:
- Moving promise work into C++ land like FileHandle.
- Possibly adding `readv()` to do multi-entry directory reads.
- Aliasing `fs.readdir` to `fs.scandir` and doing a deprecation.
