Added the uv_loop_fork() API that must be called in a child process to
continue using an existing loop. Internally this calls a uv__io_fork
function for each supported platform, similar to the way
uv__platform_loop_init works.
After this call, existing and new IO, async and signal watchers will
contiue working as before on all platforms, as will the
threadpool (although any threads it was using are of course gone).
On Linux and BSDs that use kqueue, existing and new fsevent watchers
will also continue to work as expected. On OS X, though, directory
fsevents will not be able to use the optimized CoreFoundation path if
they had already been used in the parent process, instead falling back
to the kqueue path used on other BSDs.
Existing fsevent watchers will not function on AIX or SunOS. This
could be relatively easily fixed by someone with AIX knowledge in the
future, but SunOS will require some additional work to keep track if
the watchers.
A new test file, test/test-fork.c, was added to contain fork-related
tests to verify functionality in the child process.

It behaves as `uv_signal_start` but it resets the signal handler as soon
as the signal is received.

uv_translate_sys_error() was a private function for Windows.
This commit adds an equivalent function on other platforms, and
exposes it as public API.
Exposing this is useful in scenarios where the application uses
both libuv functions and platform-specific system calls and wants
to report errors uniformly as libuv errors.

Introduce two new APIs:
int uv_tcp_init_ex(uv_loop_t*, uv_tcp_t* handle, int flags)
int uv_udp_init_ex(uv_loop_t*, uv_udp_t* handle, int flags)
The lower 8 bits of the flags field are used for the socket domain.
AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNSPEC are supported. If AF_UNSPEC is specified
the socket is created lazily, just like uv_{tcp,udp}_init.
Some Windows notes:
getsockname fails with WSAEINVAL if the socket is not bound. This could
potentially be improved by detecting the socket family and filling
the sockaddr_in/6 struct manually.
bind returns WSAEFAULT if we try to bind a socket to the wrong family.
Unix returns EINVAL.

Certain types of streams may be opened from a CRT file descriptor (as
opposed to a Windows HANDLE). In order to close the file descriptor
later, libuv must store the file descriptor used to open the stream.

With uv_replace_allocator, it's possible to override the default
memory allocator's malloc and free calls with functions of the user's
choosing. This allows libuv to interoperate with projects requiring a
custom memory allocator.
Internally, all calls to malloc and free have been replaced with
uv__malloc and uv__free, respectively. The uv__malloc and uv__free
functions call malloc and free unless they have been overridden by a
previous call to uv_replace_allocator.
As part of this change, the special aligned memory allocations
performed in src/win/fs-event.c have been replaced with standard
allocations. The 4-byte alignment being requested in this file was
unnecessary, since standard allocators already guarantee at least an
8-byte alignment.

Returns the platform specific file descriptor for handles that are
backed by one. The datatype is abstracted as uv_os_fd_t, which maps to
int on Unices and HANDLE on Windows.
Users can use this function to set specific socket options, for example,
in a non portable way.
This function is essentially a shotgun, you better be careful with
whatever you do with it, don't blame me if you used it to get the fd of
a stream, close it yourself and expect things to Just Work.
Support all possible types on Unix, and files, directories and links on
Windows. Some systems (hello SunOS!) don't have the d_type field on struct
dirent, so mark them as UV_DIRENT_UNKNOWN.
Introduce:
int uv_fs_readdir_next(uv_fs_t* req, uv_dirent_t* ent);
`uv_fs_readdir()` is not returning a file names list in `req->ptr`
anymore, the proper way to gather them is to call `uv_fs_readdir_next()`
in a callback.
This functionality is present in stream and uv_udp_t has a queue
as well so it makes sense for udp to have a send_write_size.
Since udp sends entire messages atomically, the send_queue_count field
lets the user determine how many messages are there left to send.
