A handful of modules (including readable-streams) make
inappropriate use of the internal _events property. One
such use is to prepend an event listener to the front
of the array of listeners.
This adds EE.prototype.prependListener() and
EE.prototype.prependOnceListener() methods to add handlers
to the *front* of the listener array.
Doc update and test case is included.

The intention behind is to present the user a way to
execute code in a vm context. The current API doesn't
allow this out-of-the-box, since it is neither passing a require
function nor creating context with one.
The missing docs for this behaviour have produced a number of
Q&A items and have also been discussed in the node-archive repo.
In both cases there was no real canonical answer.

Make the builtin libraries available for the `--eval` and

This renders workarounds like `node -e 'require("fs").doStuff()'`

adding the corresponding properties to the target context is moved
to `internal/module.js`, and the previously missing `repl` entry

On Linux and OS X systems, `fs.watch()` resolves the watched path to an
inode. This clarifies that `fs.watch()` watches the inode and not the
path. If the inode of the path subsequently changes, `fs.watch()` will
continue watching the original inode and events for the path will no
longer be emitted. This is expected behavior.

Up to now, `Z_FINISH` was always the flushing flag that was used
for the last chunk of input data. This patch makes this choice
configurable so that advanced users can perform e.g. decompression of
partial data using `Z_SYNC_FLUSH`, if that suits their needs.
Add tests to make sure that an error is thrown upon encountering
invalid `flush` or `finishFlush` flags.

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.

In several places throughout the code we write directly to stderr
to report warnings (deprecation, possible eventemitter memory leak).
The current design of simply dumping the text to stderr is less
than ideal. This PR introduces a new "process warnings" mechanism
that emits 'warning' events on the global process object. These are
invoked with a `warning` argument whose value is an Error object.
By default, these warnings will be printed to stderr. This can be
suppressed using the `--no-warnings` and `--no-deprecation` command
line flags. For warnings, the 'warning' event will still be emitted
by the process, allowing applications to handle the warnings in custom
ways. The existing `--no-deprecation` flag will continue to supress
all deprecation output generated by the core lib.
The `--trace-warnings` command line flag will tell Node.js to print
the full stack trace of warnings as part of the default handling.
The existing `--no-deprecation`, `--throw-deprecation` and
`--trace-deprecation` flags continue to work as they currently do,
but the exact output of the warning message is modified to occur
on process.nextTick().
The stack trace for the warnings and deprecations preserve and point
to the correct call site.
A new `process.emitWarning()` API is provided to permit userland
to emit warnings and deprecations using the same consistent
mechanism.
Test cases and documentation are included.
