Notable changes:

* buffer:

[#5744](#5744)

* net: emit host in lookup event (HUANG Wei)
[#5598](#5598)
* node: --no-browser-globals configure flag (Fedor Indutny)
[#5853](#5853)
* npm: Upgrade to v3.8.3. Fixes a security flaw in the use of
authentication tokens in HTTP requests that would allow an attacker to
set up a server that could collect tokens from users of the command-line
interface. Authentication tokens have previously been sent with every
request made by the CLI for logged-in users, regardless of the destination
of the request. This update fixes this by only including those tokens
for requests made against the registry or registries used for the
current install. (Forrest L Norvell)
[npm#6](npm#6)
* repl: support standalone blocks (Prince J Wesley)
[#5581](#5581)
* src: override v8 thread defaults using cli options (Tom Gallacher)
[#4344](#4344)
