* events: Added EventEmitter#listenerCount(event) as a replacement for
  EventEmitter.listenerCount(emitter, event), which has now been
  marked as deprecated in the docs. (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2349
* module: Fixed an error with preloaded modules when the current
  working directory doesn't exist. (Bradley Meck) #2353
* node: Startup time is now about 5% faster when not passing V8 flags.
  (Evan Lucas) #2483
* repl: Tab-completion now works better with arrays.
  (James M Snell) #2409
* string_bytes: Fixed an unaligned write in the handling of UCS2
  encoding. (Fedor Indutny) #2480
* tls: Added a new --tls-cipher-list flag that can be used to override
  the built-in default cipher list. (James M Snell) #2412

This refactoring:

* eliminates the need for the external `curl` command
* speeds the test by running the two test requests simultaneously
* checks the type of error in the test that expects a failure
    (previously, any error type would cause the test to pass)

  The original change that added support for running custom actions
  during the install process
  (joyent/node@e7c84f82c730bddb7450dc56065aab11b93ffd30) assumed that
  Visual Studio 2013 is used to generate the installer file.

  However, that is not always the case, and older versions of Visual
  Studio should allow users to generate Windows installer files. This
  change makes the custom actions visual studio project use the visual

This adds a new `--tls-cipher-list` command line switch
that can be used to override the built-in default cipher
list. The intent of this is to make it possible to enforce
an alternative default cipher list at the process level.
Overriding the default cipher list is still permitted at
the application level by changing the value of
`require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS`.

As part of the change, the built in default list is moved
out of tls.js and into node_constants.h and node_constants.cc.
Two new constants are added to require('constants'):

  * defaultCipherList (the active default cipher list)
  * defaultCoreCipherList (the built-in default cipher list)

A test case and doc changes are included.

A new NODE_DEFINE_STRING_CONSTANT macro is also created in
node_internals.h

When node_constants is initialized, it will pick up either
the passed in command line switch or fallback to the default
built-in suite.

Within joyent/node, this change had originaly been wrapped
up with a number of other related commits involving the
removal of the RC4 cipher. This breaks out this isolated
change.
