Notable changes:
* assert
* The diff output is now a tiny bit improved by sorting object
properties when inspecting the values that are compared with each
other. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22788
* cli
* The options parser now normalizes `_` to `-` in all multi-word
command-line flags, e.g. `--no_warnings` has the same effect as
`--no-warnings`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23020
* Added bash completion for the `node` binary. To generate a bash
completion script, run `node --completion-bash`. The output can be
saved to a file which can be sourced to enable completion.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20713
* crypto
* Added support for PEM-level encryption.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23151
* Added an API asymmetric key pair generation. The new methods
`crypto.generateKeyPair` and `crypto.generateKeyPairSync` can be
used to generate public and private key pairs. The API supports
RSA, DSA and EC and a variety of key encodings (both PEM and DER).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22660
* fs
* Added a `recursive` option to `fs.mkdir` and `fs.mkdirSync`. If
this option is set to true, non-existing parent folders will be
automatically created. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21875
* http2
* Added a `'ping'` event to `Http2Session` that is emitted whenever a
non-ack `PING` is received.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23009
* Added support for the `ORIGIN` frame.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22956
* Updated nghttp2 to 1.34.0. This adds RFC 8441 extended connect
protocol support to allow use of WebSockets over HTTP/2.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23284
* module
* Added `module.createRequireFromPath(filename)`. This new method can
be used to create a custom require function that will resolve
modules relative to the filename path.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19360
* process
* Added a `'multipleResolves'` process event that is emitted whenever
a `Promise` is attempted to be resolved multiple times, e.g. if the
`resolve` and `reject` functions are both called in a `Promise`
executor. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22218
* url
* Added `url.fileURLToPath(url)` and `url.pathToFileURL(path)`. These
methods can be used to correctly convert between file: URLs and
absolute paths. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22506
* util
* Added the `sorted` option to `util.inspect()`. If set to `true`,
all properties of an object and Set and Map entries will be sorted
in the returned string. If set to a function, it is used as a
compare function. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22788
* The `util.instpect.custom` symbol is now defined in the global
symbol registry as `Symbol.for('nodejs.util.inspect.custom')`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20857
* Added support for `BigInt` numbers in `util.format()`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22097
* V8 API
* A number of V8 C++ APIs have been marked as deprecated since they
have been removed in the upstream repository. Replacement APIs
are added where necessary. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23159
* Windows
* The Windows msi installer now provides an option to automatically
install the tools required to build native modules.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22645
* Workers
* Debugging support for Workers using the DevTools protocol has been
implemented. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21364
* The public `inspector` module is now enabled in Workers.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22769
* Added new collaborators:

Allow reading from stdio streams that are conventionally
associated with process output, since this is only convention.
This involves disabling the oddness around closing stdio
streams. Its purpose is to prevent the file descriptors
0 through 2 from being closed, since doing so can lead
to information leaks when new file descriptors are being
opened; instead, not doing anything seems like a more
reasonable choice.

Bundle a `uv_async_t`, a `uv_idle_t`, a `uv_mutex_t`, a `uv_cond_t`,
and a `v8::Persistent<v8::Function>` to make it possible to call into JS
from another thread. The API accepts a void data pointer and a callback
which will be invoked on the loop thread and which will receive the
`napi_value` representing the JavaScript function to call so as to
perform the call into JS. The callback is run inside a
`node::CallbackScope`.
A `std::queue<void*>` is used to store calls from the secondary
threads, and an idle loop is started by the `uv_async_t` callback on the
loop thread to drain the queue, calling into JS with each item.
Items can be added to the queue blockingly or non-blockingly.
The thread-safe function can be referenced or unreferenced, with the
same semantics as libuv handles.

Scrypt is a password-based key derivation function that is designed to
be expensive both computationally and memory-wise in order to make
brute-force attacks unrewarding.
OpenSSL has had support for the scrypt algorithm since v1.1.0. Add a
Node.js API modeled after `crypto.pbkdf2()` and `crypto.pbkdf2Sync()`.
Changes:
* Introduce helpers for copying buffers, collecting openssl errors, etc.
* Add new infrastructure for offloading crypto to a worker thread.
* Add a `AsyncWrap` JS class to simplify pbkdf2(), randomBytes() and
scrypt().

Also modifies the error messages so they include more information
and are more consistent.
- The message of ERR_SCRIPT_EXECUTION_INTERRUPTED now mentions
SIGINT and the trailing period is dropped for consistency.
- Added ERR_SCRIPT_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT and include the timeout

Removes the requirement to use `--trace-events-enabled` to enable
trace events. Tracing is enabled automatically if there are any
enabled categories.
Adds a new `trace_events` module with an API for enabling/disabling
trace events at runtime without a command line flag.
```js
const trace_events = require('trace_events');
const categories = [ 'node.perf', 'node.async_hooks' ];
const tracing = trace_events.createTracing({ categories });
tracing.enable();
// do stuff
tracing.disable();
```
Multiple `Tracing` objects may exist and be enabled at any point
in time. The enabled trace event categories is the union of all
enabled `Tracing` objects and the `--trace-event-categories`
flag.
