This patch makes buffers the preferred output for fs.read() and
fs.readSync(). The old string interface is still supported by
converting buffers to strings dynamically. This allows to remove the
C++ code for string handling which is also part of this patch.

There is a difference between errors which happen to a socket - like
receiving EPIPE - an exceptional situation but ultimately okay and the
situation where code throws in a callback - which is not okay.
Fixes test/simple/test-http-exceptions.js
TODO: explain this in docs.
Previously path.dirname('/tmp') incorrectly returned '.'.
Unfortunately module.js incorrectly thinks dirname('/a/b/') should
yield '/a/b', so I can't strip trailing slashes yet. Once module.js
is fixed, then the commented-out code should be activated and a test
written for it.

Taking a performance hit on 'hello world' benchmark by enabling this by
default, but I think it's worth it. Hopefully we can improve performance by
resetting the timeout less often - ideally a 'hello world' benchmark would
only touch the one timer once - if it runs in less than 2 seconds. The rest
should be just link list manipulations.
- setTimeout should active the timeout too. (test-net-set-timeout tests
this.)
- 'timeout' event is not automatically followed by an 'error' event. That
is the user is now responsible for destroying the stream if there is an
idle timeout.
- No more single line "node.js:176:9" errors
- No more strange output when error happens on first line due to
module wrapper function.
- A few tests to check these things
