The build system currently creates a shared library on OS X with the
same name as on Linux i.e. libnode.so.48. This is inconsistent with
the conventions on OS X which uses libnode.48.so This commit changes
the build process and install.py (used by make binary) to build with
the correct name on OS X when the --shared configure parameter is used.

As the name suggests, it's for internal use only, so don't install it.
Including it in an add-on doesn't work because the file depends on other
header files that are not installed.
Adding it to the install list appears to have been an oversight in
commit 32478acf ("build: unix install node and dep library headers").

This PR is the first step enabling support for native modules
for AIX. The main issue is that unlike linux where all
symbols within the Node executable are available to the shared
library for a native module (npm), on AIX the symbols must
be explicitly exported. In addition, when the shared library is
built it must be linked using a list of the available symbols.
This patch covers the changes need to:
1) Export the symbols when building the node executable
2) Generate the file listing the symbols that can be used when
building the shared library.
For AIX, it breaks the build process into 2 steps. The first builds
a static library and then generates a node.exp file which contains
the symbols from that library. The second builds the node executable
and uses the node.exp file to specify which symbols should be
exported. In addition, it save the node.exp file so that it can
later be used in the creation of the shared library when building
a native module.
The following additional steps will be required in dependent projects
to fully enable AIX for native modules and are being worked
separately:
- Updates to node-gyp to use node.exp when creating the
shared library for a native module
- Fixes to gyp related to copying files as covered in
https://codereview.chromium.org/1368133002/patch/1/10001
- Pulling in updated gyp versions to Node and node-gyp
- Pulling latest libuv
These changes were done to minimize the change to other platforms
by working within the existing structure to add the 2 step process
for AIX without changing the process for other platforms.

Upgrade the bundled V8 and update code in src/ and lib/ to the new API.
Notable backwards incompatible changes are the removal of the smalloc

brought back if necessary by doing UTF-8 decoding ourselves.

This change introduces support for the common PREFIX variable in the
Makefile and install.py, instead of having /usr/local hardcoded. This
makes it much easier to install node to custom locations e.g. in a
user's home directory.
The PREFIX variable defaults to /usr/local.
Looks like a merge conflict in 77ed12f left in the old, unconditional
install rule. Remove it, the new and improved rule is a few lines down.
Fixes #5044.
Make tools/install.py work with python 2.5
2.5 is still fairly widespread and does not include a json lib as
standard. Most python folk will have simplejson if they are in that
boat.
In general it seems a bit tricky to solve this perfectly...
This "portable" mode rewrites the npm shebang to use the "node" executable
in the same directory relative to the "npm" script. This makes the "npm"
script "just work" even when "node" is not in the user's $PATH.
This mode is necessary for the precompiled binary packages that may potentially
be extracted to anywhere. The regular shebang-rewriting logic would normally
set the npm script's shebang to "/bin/node" which will not be present on anyone's
machine. In the end, we want the precompiled packages to be as user-friendly as
possible.
