| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - SIGTERM seems OK to handle - I tested that on Linux, read POSIX, etc. I can't see why it should be different from SIGUSR1, for example, except that the default handler is different. - Also raise(15) is caught by the handler for me, and I can't see why it wouldn't.

| | | | | | | | | | | Right now, docs don't make it clear when exactly does it become okay to free memory belonging to `uv_handle_t`. It's only stated that `uv_close` must be called before freeing the memory, which is a source of confusion for new users: they call `uv_close(handle, NULL)`, then free the memory (see e.g. #2078, https://stackoverflow.com/q/25615340).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This PR creates two new externally-facing APIs, uv_err_name_r() and uv_strerror_r(). In keeping with the precedent set by POSIX, the *_r() suffix of these two new methods indicate that the caller does the memory management and passes in the memory that the output will be stored in, which provides an alternative for the two existent methods (uv_err_name() and uv_strerror()), which, when called with an unknown error code, leak a few bytes of memory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add getter/setter functions for the fields of public structs that might be relevant to e.g. Node.js addons. Through these methods, ABI compatibility for a subset of the ABI is easier to achieve, since using them makes code independent of the exact offsets of these fields. The intended use case that prompted this are N-API addons for Node.js, which look for more long-term ABI compatibility guarantees than typical Node code. With these helper functions, using libuv directly should no longer be an obstacle for such addons.
