At long last: The initial *experimental* implementation of HTTP/2.
This is an accumulation of the work that has been done in the nodejs/http2
repository, squashed down to a couple of commits. The original commit
history has been preserved in the nodejs/http2 repository.
This PR introduces the nghttp2 C library as a new dependency. This library
provides the majority of the HTTP/2 protocol implementation, with the rest
of the code here providing the mapping of the library into a usable JS API.
Within src, a handful of new node_http2_*.c and node_http2_*.h files are
introduced. These provide the internal mechanisms that interface with nghttp
and define the `process.binding('http2')` interface.
The JS API is defined within `internal/http2/*.js`.
There are two APIs provided: Core and Compat.
The Core API is HTTP/2 specific and is designed to be as minimal and as
efficient as possible.
The Compat API is intended to be as close to the existing HTTP/1 API as
possible, with some exceptions.
Tests, documentation and initial benchmarks are included.
The `http2` module is gated by a new `--expose-http2` command line flag.
When used, `require('http2')` will be exposed to users. Note that there
is an existing `http2` module on npm that would be impacted by the introduction
of this module, which is the main reason for gating this behind a flag.
When using `require('http2')` the first time, a process warning will be
emitted indicating that an experimental feature is being used.
To run the benchmarks, the `h2load` tool (part of the nghttp project) is
required: `./node benchmarks/http2/simple.js benchmarker=h2load`. Only
two benchmarks are currently available.
Additional configuration options to enable verbose debugging are provided:
```
$ ./configure --debug-http2 --debug-nghttp2
$ NODE_DEBUG=http2 ./node
```
The `--debug-http2` configuration option enables verbose debug statements
from the `src/node_http2_*` files. The `--debug-nghttp2` enables the nghttp
library's own verbose debug output. The `NODE_DEBUG=http2` enables JS-level
debug output.
The following illustrates as simple HTTP/2 server and client interaction:
(The HTTP/2 client and server support both plain text and TLS connections)
```jt client = http2.connect('http://localhost:80');
const req = client.request({ ':path': '/some/path' });
req.on('data', (chunk) => { /* do something with the data */ });
req.on('end', () => {
client.destroy();
});
// Plain text (non-TLS server)
const server = http2.createServer();
server.on('stream', (stream, requestHeaders) => {
stream.respond({ ':status': 200 });
stream.write('hello ');
stream.end('world');
});
server.listen(80);
```
```js
const http2 = require('http2');
const client = http2.connect('http://localhost');
```

* Add lib/async_hooks.js
* Add JS methods to AsyncWrap for handling the async id stack
* Introduce AsyncReset() so that JS functions can reset the id and again
trigger the init hooks, allow AsyncWrap::Reset() to be called from JS
via asyncReset().
* Add env variable to test additional things in test/common.js

When loading a module, Node needs to finds the end
of a shebang comment by searching for a \r or \n character.
This behaviour is now standardized into a dedicated
internal module function

Make sure that the built-in modules in the repl stay non-enumerable.
Previously, they would pop up as enumerable properties of the global
object after having been accessed for the first time.

Make the builtin libraries available for the `--eval` and
`--print` CLI options, using the same mechanism that the
REPL uses.
This renders workarounds like `node -e 'require("fs").doStuff()'`
unnecessary.
As part of this, the list of builtin modules and the code for
adding the corresponding properties to the target context is moved
to `internal/module.js`, and the previously missing `repl` entry
is added.

This commit improves module loading performance by at least ~25-35%
in the module-loader benchmarks.
Some optimization strategies include:
* Try-finally/try-catch isolation
* Replacing regular expressions with manual parsing
* Avoiding unnecessary string and array creation
* Avoiding constant recompilation of anonymous functions and
function definitions within functions

Reduce the number of stat() system calls that require() makes by caching
the results more aggressively.
To avoid unbounded growth without implementing a LRU cache, scope the
cache to the lifetime of the first call to require(). Recursive calls
(i.e. require() calls in the included code) transparently profit from
the cache.
The benchmarked application is the loopback-sample-app[0] and it sees
the number of stat calls at start-up go down by 40%, from 4736 to 2810.
