V8's interpreter performs stack checks both at the call site and at the
function entry. A recursive function could therefore trigger stack
overflow at two different source locations. Instead of recursion, call
JSON.stringify on a deeply nested array.

A prior io.js era commit inappropriately removed the
original copyright statements from the source. This
restores those in any files still remaining from that
edit.

Many test modules load assert but do not use it. This change removes
those instances.

It also removes a handful of other unused variables when they were
nearby.

common.js needs to be loaded in all tests so that there is checking
for variable leaks and possibly other things. However, it does not
need to be assigned to a variable if nothing in common.js is referred
to elsewhere in the test.

Enable linting for the test directory. A number of changes was made so
all tests conform the current rules used by lib and src directories. The
only exception for tests is that unreachable (dead) code is allowed.

test-fs-non-number-arguments-throw had to be excluded from the changes
because of a weird issue on Windows CI.

The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file.  There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.

All compile time warnings about using deprecated APIs have been
suppressed by updating node's API. Though there are still many function
calls that can accept Isolate, and still need to be updated.

node_isolate had to be added as an extern variable in node.h and
node_object_wrap.h

Also a couple small fixes for Error handling.

Before v8 3.16.6 the error stack message was lazily written when it was
needed, which allowed you to change the message after instantiation.
Then the stack would be written with the new message the first time it
was accessed. Though that has changed. Now it creates the stack message
on instantiation. So setting a different message afterwards won't be
displayed.

This is not a complete fix for the problem. Getting error without any
message isn't very useful.
