Having an experimental feature behind a flag makes change
if we are expecting significant breaking changes to its API.
Since the Worker API has been essentially stable since
its initial introduction, and no noticeable doubt about
possibly not keeping the feature around has been voiced,
removing the flag and thereby reducing the barrier to experimentation,
and consequently receiving feedback on the implementation,
seems like a good idea.

* Alphabetize the command line options and environment
variables in doc/api/cli.md for consistency and readability.
* Update doc/api/cli.md to include command line options
being printed in the `node.PrintHelp()` function in src/node.cc
but weren't otherwise documented in the cli spec. Options added
include:
--napi-modules
--v8-pool-size=num
--experimental-modules
--experimental-vm-modules
* ASCII sort the node man page command line options.
This change brings sort order consistency between the
cli options displayed in doc/node.1 and the cli options
enumerated in other areas of the project.
Also rearrange the language for `--use-bundled-ca`, `--use-openssl-ca`
to correspond with the order of the options as displayed.
* Update `node.PrintHelp()` function to return command line options
and environment variables sorted in ASCII order. Additionally,
add missing options as sourced from doc/api/cli.md. Options
added include `--`, `--help` and the `NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS`
environment variable.
Also update the comments in the `node.PrintHelp()` method
to C++ style.
* Create tests to validate that the newly ASCII sorted
cli options in the `node.PrintHelp()` function are being
returned according to build configurations as expected.

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');
```

Document --inspect-port, and fix the reporting for when it is misused.
The option requires an argument, but when the argument was omitted, the
error message incorrectly reported --inspect-port as being bad, as if
was not supported at all:
% node --inspect-port
node: bad option: --inspect-port
% node --none-such
node: bad option: --none-such
It is now correctly reported as requiring an argument:
% ./node --inspect-port
./node: --inspect-port requires an argument

Not all CLI options are supported, those that are problematic from a
security or implementation point of view are disallowed, as are ones
that are inappropriate (for example, -e, -p, --i), or that only make
sense when changed with code changes (such as options that change the
javascript syntax or add new APIs).

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,

The --redirect-warnings command line argument allows process warnings
to be written to a specified file rather than printed to stderr.
Also adds an equivalent NODE_REDIRECT_WARNINGS environment variable.
If the specified file cannot be opened or written to for any reason,
the argument is ignored and the warning is printed to stderr.
If the file already exists, it will be appended to.
