The require('constants') module is currently undocumented and mashes
together unrelated constants. This refactors the require('constants')
in favor of distinct os.constants, fs.constants, and crypto.constants
that are specific to the modules for which they are relevant. The
next step is to document those within the specific modules.

zlib constants were previously being added to binding in node_zlib.cc.
This moves the zlib constants to node_constants.cc for consistency with
the recent constants refactoring:
  nodejs#6534

Adds require('zlib').constants to expose the constants
Docs-only deprecates the constants hung directly off require('zlib')
Removes a couple constants from the docs that apparently no longer
exist in the code

Notable changes:

* buffer: Added `buffer.swap64()` to compliment `swap16()` &
`swap32()`. (Zach Bjornson) #7157
* build: New `configure` options have been added for building Node.js
as a shared library. (Stefan Budeanu)
#6994
  - The options are: `--shared`, `--without-v8-platform` &
`--without-bundled-v8`.
* crypto: Root certificates have been updated. (Ben Noordhuis)
#7363
* debugger: The server address is now configurable via
`--debug=<address>:<port>`. (Ben Noordhuis)
#3316
* npm: Upgraded npm to v3.10.3 (Kat Marchán)
#7515 & (Rebecca Turner)
#7410
* readline: Added the `prompt` option to the readline constructor.
(Evan Lucas) #7125
* repl / vm: `sigint`/`ctrl+c` will now break out of infinite loops
without stopping the Node.js instance. (Anna Henningsen)
#6635
* src:
  - Added a `node::FreeEnvironment` public C++ API. (Cheng Zhao)
#3098
  - Refactored `require('constants')`, constants are now available
directly from their respective modules. (James M Snell)
#6534
* stream: Improved `readable.read()` performance by up to 70%. (Brian
White) #7077
* timers: `setImmediate()` is now up to 150% faster in some situations.
(Andras) #6436
* util: Added a `breakLength` option to `util.inspect()` to control how
objects are formatted across lines. (cjihrig)
#7499
* v8-inspector: Experimental support has been added for debugging
Node.js over the inspector protocol. (Ali Ijaz Sheikh)
#6792
  - *Note: This feature is experimental, and it could be altered or
removed.*
  - You can try this feature by running Node.js with the `--inspect`
flag.
