`vm` module API heavily reuses common code, but the doc seems
to be a bit out of date: some options are listed in wrong places,
some options and history entries are missed.
Also some fragments need to be formalized and unified.

Using `process.nextTick()`, `Promise`, or `queueMicrotask()`, it
is possible to escape the `timeout` set when running code with
`vm.runInContext()`, `vm.runInThisContext()`, and
`vm.runInNewContext()`.
This documents the issue and adds three known_issues tests.

This meant that the parsingContext option in vm.compileFunction

Adds a method compileFunction to the vm module, which serves as a

specifying the details, and provide params for the wrapper.
Eventually, we would be changing Module._compile to use this internally

all the way into the spec, SourceTextModule is indeed a more

The `auxData` field is not exposed to JavaScript, as DevTools uses it
for its `isDefault` parameter, which is implemented faithfully,
contributing to the nice indentation in the context selection panel.
Without the indentation, when `Target` domain gets implemented (along
with a single Inspector for cluster) in #16627, subprocesses and VM
contexts will be mixed up, causing confusion.
