win,tty: restore cursor after canceling line read

When we send VK_RETURN to make ReadConsole return, a spurious new line
is echoed to the screen. This is pretty visible in Node.js, since it
calls uv_tty_read_start() and uv_tty_read_stop() in rapid succession
during startup.

With this change, we save the screen state just before sending
VK_RETURN, and restore the cursor position as soon as ReadConsole
returns.

win,tty: fix read stop in line mode

Closing the handle does not make ReadConsoleW exit reliably on
Windows 7 and above. Thus, after switching from line to raw mode,
keypresses were held until enter was pressed. This makes ReadConsoleW
exit by writing a return keypress to its input buffer, similar to
what was already done for raw mode.

Fixes a regression introduced in commit 3db07cc ("osx: set the default

certain configurations; GNU Emacs on OS X apparently sets RLIMIT_STACK

build, mingw: set LIBS in configure.ac

Instead of doing it instead Makefile.am, this fixes libuv.pc on MinGW.

Previous version generates libuv.pc with LIBS = "-lpthread" instead of
"-lpthread -lws2_32 -lpsapi -liphlpapi -lshell32 -luserenv" on MinGW.

Previous version generates the following Makefile.am:

am__append_4 = -lws2_32 -lpsapi -liphlpapi -lshell32 -luserenv
...
LIBS = -lpthread $(am__append_4)

and the following configure.ac:

AS_IF([test "x$PKG_CONFIG" != "x"], [
AC_CONFIG_FILES([libuv.pc])
])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])

Therefore, Makefile is generated after libuv.pc. Variables from
Makefile don't affect config.status and libuv.pc.

test: fix POLLHDRUP related failures for AIX

`POLLHDRUP` is not implemented on AIX. Therefore `UV_DISCONNECT` will
never be set on `events`. This causes the socket to never be closed and
the tests to be stuck inside `pollset_poll` indefinitely, resulting in a
timeout.

This fixes the following tests:
- poll_duplex
- poll_unidirectional

Updated docs to let end users know that `UV_DISCONNECT` can be set, but
is unsupported on AIX.

win: clarify fsevents handling code

The code for handling fs events is quite complex, this commits tries to
make it easier to follow.

First, there are 2 cases in which we use the name of the file straight
from the event (when watching a directory):

- if we cannot create the long path
- if the file got renamed or removed

So separate this logically, even if the code we need is the same.

Second, one way or anothwer we will always have some filename to report,
so remove an unnecessary if.

Third, nullify filenamew, to avoid having a dangling pointer, should the
code change.

build: always compile with -fvisibility=hidden

The 'visibility%' gyp variable was designed as an override mechanism for
old (<=3.4) versions of gcc that don't know about -fvisibility=hidden.

It turns out it's fairly easy for embedders to muck up the define, as
witnessed by the fact that node.js is currently leaking internal libuv
symbols due to not properly setting 'visibility%'.

While that could be fixed by tweaking node.js, because we don't support
gcc 3.4 anymore and haven't for a long time, making -fvisibility=hidden
the default here seems all around easier.

unix: error on realpath if PATH_MAX is undefined

Currently when PATH_MAX is undefined realpath will default to using 4096.
There is a potential stack overflow attack that can be mitigated by having
PATH_MAX defined. This change conservatively errors if a system does not
have PATH_MAX defined.

This change also explicitly includes `limits.h` to ensure that all platforms
have PATH_MAX defined if it is available.
