Building Node.js with `--debug` takes a long time and generates
binaries that can be hard to work with due to their size, in
particular because debug builds of V8 are large.
Sometimes, it’s sufficient to build the Node.js parts with native
debugging options enabled. Add an option for that.

`__executable_start` is provided by GNU's and LLVM's default linker
scripts, obviating the need to plug in a custom linker script.
The problem with our bespoke linker script is that it works with ld.bfd
but not ld.gold and cannot easily be ported because the latter linker
doesn't understand the `INSERT BEFORE` directive.
The /proc/self/maps scanner is updated to account for the fact that
there are a number of sections between `&__executable_start` and
the start of the .text section.
Fortunately, those sections are all mapped into the same memory segment
so we only need to look at the next line to find the start of our text
segment.

When compiled with `--with-intl=small` and
`--with-icu-default-data-dir=PATH`, Node.js will use PATH as a
fallback location for the ICU data.
We will first perform an access check using fopen(PATH, 'r') to
ensure that the file is readable. If it is, we'll set the
icu_data_directory and proceed. There's a slight overhead for the
fopen() check, but it should be barely measurable.
This will be useful for Linux distribution packagers who want to
be able to ship a minimal node binary in a container image but
also be able to add on the full i18n support where needed. With
this patch, it becomes possible to ship the interpreter as
/usr/bin/node in one package for the distribution and to ship the
data files in another package (without a strict dependency
between the two). This means that users of the distribution will
not need to explicitly direct Node.js to locate the ICU data. It
also means that in environments where full internationalization is
not required, they do not need to carry the extra content (with
the associated storage costs).

This commit introduces a new configuration flag named
--openssl-is-fips which is intended to be used when linking against
an OpenSSL library that is FIPS compatible.
The motivation for this is that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL8)
comes with OpenSSL 1.1.1 and includes FIPS support, and we would
like to be able to dynamically link against this version and also have
FIPS features enabled in node, like would be done when statically
linking and using the --openssl-fips flag.
The suggestion here is to introduce a new flag:
$ ./configure --help
...
--openssl-is-fips specifies that the shared OpenSSL version is FIPS
compatible
This flag could be used in combination with the shared-openssl flag:
$ ./configure --shared-openssl ---openssl-is-fips
This will enable FIPS support in node and the runtime flags will be
availalbe to enable FIPS (--enable-fips, --force-fips).

Remove `--debug-http2` as a compile-time feature and
make all debug statements available using `NODE_DEBUG_NATIVE=http2`
at runtime.
This probably makes the debugging-enabled case a bit slower due to
additional string concatenations, but switching to a runtime-checking
system makes debugging more flexible and can be applied more easily
to other parts of the source code as well.

I mistakenly introduced user defined variables using uppercase
characters, reading the gyp documentation they state:
"Predefined variables. By convention, these are named with
CAPITAL_LETTERS. Predefined variables are set automatically by GYP"
and also "By convention, user-defined variables are named with
lowercase_letters."
This commit renames the user defined variables to lowercase to follow

The version of nghttp2 in deps/ does not build on CloudABI, even though
the official version does. Though this is an issue on its own that needs
to be resolved, it is currently a bit hard to work around this. There is
no switch to link against an external version of nghttp2, even though we
do provide this option for other libraries.
This change adds configure flags, similar to the ones we have for
OpenSSL, zlib, http_parser, libuv, etc. and makes the dependency on
deps/nghttp2 optional.

The motivation for this commit is to enable projects embedding Node.js
and building with --enable-static to be able to run the test suite and
linter.
Currently when building with --enable-static no node executable
will be created which means that the tests (apart from the cctest) and
linter cannot be run.
This is currently a work in progress and works on MacOS but I need to
run the CI, and manually on different environments to verify that it
works as expected.

Currently the cctest target compiles sources files even though they are
compiled for the node target. This is my fault as when I worked on the
task of getting the cctest to use the object files from the node target
I missed a few sources that were being included from node.gypi. This
also effects the build time as these sources are compiled twice.
This commit moves the conditions in question into the node target in
node.gyp. With this commit there should be no object files in
out/Release/obj.target/cctest/src/ (the path will vary depending on the
operating system being used).

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');
```
