In AsyncWrap::MakeCallback always return empty handle if there is an
error. In the future this should change to return a v8::MaybeLocal, but
that major change will have to wait for v6.x, and these changes are
meant to be backported to v4.x.

The HTTParser call to AsyncWrap::MakeCallback failed because it expected
a thrown call to return an empty handle.

In node::MakeCallback return an empty handle if the call is
in_makecallback(), otherwise return v8::Undefined() as usual to preserve
backwards compatibility.

Currently we are not testing that `npm install` works.

This is a very naive / basic test that shells out to `npm install`

that `npm install` is 100% working, it should catch certain edge

Enabled no-self-assign rule in ESLint.

This required one change in a benchmark file. Changed a loop (that is
outside of the benchmark itself, so performance is not critical) from a
for loop that repeats a string to use String.prototype.repeat() instead.

While at it, took the opportunity to const-ify the benchmark file.

Also moved the "Strict" section in the .eslintrc to match where it is in
the ESLint documentation. Updated the link for Strict rules to point to
the ESLint website rather than the GitHub-hosted code.

  - Fix a double-free defect in parsing malformed DSA keys that may
potentially be used for DoS or memory corruption attacks. It is likely
to be very difficult to use this defect for a practical attack and is
therefore considered low severity for Node.js users. More info is
available at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0705
  - Fix a defect that can cause memory corruption in certain very rare
cases relating to the internal `BN_hex2bn()` and `BN_dec2bn()`
functions. It is believed that Node.js is not invoking the code paths
that use these functions so practical attacks via Node.js using this
defect are _unlikely_ to be possible. More info is available at
