This reverts commit 9359de9dd2.
Original Commit Message:
The "fs" module has two functions called `maybeCallback` and
`makeCallback`, as of now.
The `maybeCallback` creates a default function to report errors, if the
parameter passed is not a function object. Basically, if the callback
is omitted in some cases, this function is used to create a default
callback function.
The `makeCallback`, OTOH, creates a default function only if the
parameter passed is `undefined`, and if it is not a function object it
will throw an `Error`.
This patch removes the `maybeCallback` function and makes the callback
function argument mandatory for all the async functions.

This makes several changes:
1. Allow path/filename to be passed in as a Buffer on fs methods
2. Add `options.encoding` to fs.readdir, fs.readdirSync, fs.readlink,
fs.readlinkSync and fs.watch.
3. Documentation updates
For 1... it's now possible to do:
```js
fs.open(Buffer('/fs/foo/bar'), 'w+', (err, fd) => { });
```
For 2...
```js
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', {encoding:'hex'}, (err,list) => { });
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', {encoding:'buffer'}, (err, list) => { });
```
encoding can also be passed as a string
```js
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', 'hex', (err,list) => { });
```
The default encoding is set to UTF8 so this addresses the
discrepency that existed previously between fs.readdir and
fs.watch handling filenames differently.

When running the tests if `NODE_TEST_DIR` is set to a device different
than the location of the test files (where this repo is checked out),
then the parallel/test-fs-link.js test will fail with
`EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted`. The code works fine (and is in
fact throwing an error as desired) but the test fails.
This commit first creates the "source" file in the same directory as the
"destination" (where the hardlink will be created).

As the Node.js documentation specified:
> fs.link(srcpath, dstpath, callback)
But when we run:
```js
> fs.link()
```
We will get the below:
```js
TypeError: dest path must be a string
at TypeError (native)
at Object.fs.link (fs.js:915:11)
at repl:1:4
```
Just correct the message of relevant 2 errors in this PR :-)

If the symlink portion of the test was being skipped due to a
combination of OS support and user privileges, then an assertion would
always fail. This fixes that problem, improves assertion error reporting
and splits the test to make it clear that it is a test for links and
symlinks.
