Like man(7), mdoc(7) is a macro package for marking up computer manuals.
The main difference is that mdoc is semantic rather than presentational,
providing authors with a full DSL to abstract page markup from low-level
Roff commands. By contrast, `man` is minimalist and leaves formatting to
the author, who is expected to have a working amount of Roff knowledge.
Therefore the use of `mdoc` for marking up Node's manpage is a decidedly
better choice than bare `man`. Less room is left for error and mandoc(1)
offers very robust error-checking and linting.

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 support for abi stable module API (N-API) as "Experimental feature".
The goal of this API is to provide a stable Node API for native
module developers. N-API aims to provide ABI compatibility guarantees
across different Node versions and also across different
Node VMs - allowing N-API enabled native modules to just work
across different versions and flavors of Node.js without recompilation.
A more detailed introduction is provided in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/005-ABI-Stable-Module-API.md
and https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/blob/doc/VM%20Summit.pdf.
The feature, during its experimental state, will be guarded by a runtime
flag "--napi-modules". Only when this flag is added to the command line
will N-API modules along with regular non N-API modules be supported.
The API is defined by the methods in "src/node_api.h" and
"src/node_api_types.h". This is the best
starting point to review the API surface. More documentation will follow.
In addition to the implementation of the API using V8, which is included
in this PR, the API has also been validated against chakracore and that
port is available in
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/api-prototype-chakracore-8.x.
The current plan is to provide N-API support in versions 8.X and 6.X
directly. For older versions, such as 4.X or pre N-API versions of 6.X,
we plan to create an external npm module to provide a migration path
that will allow modules targeting older Node.js versions to use the API,
albeit without getting the advantage of not having to recompile.
In addition, we also plan an external npm package with C++ sugar to
simplify the use of the API. The sugar will be in-line only and will
only use the exported N-API methods but is not part of the N-API
itself. The current version is in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-api.
This PR is a result of work in the abi-stable-node repo:
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/doc,
