This has been dragged through various long discussions and has been
elevated to the CTC multiple times.
As noted in
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7455#issuecomment-228961530,
while this API is still generally considered an anti-pattern, there are
still use-cases it is best suited for, such as checking if a git rebase
is in progress by looking if ".git/rebase-apply/rebasing" exists.
The general consensus is to undeprecate just the sync version, given
that the async version still has the "arguments order inconsistency"
problem.
The consensus at the two last CTC meetings this came up at was also
to undeprecate existsSync() but keep exists() deprecated.

Replace the description of the commit message requirements in
onboarding.md with a link to the commit message requirements as they
appear in the CONTRIBUTING.md.
Advantages include:
* Only one place to keep the commit message requirements up to date
* Most collaborators being onboarded will already have several commits
in their name and already be familiar with the requirements. So
repeating information here makes finding the new information (about
metadata, for example) harder to find.
