node-js-10.13.0

Let's try using the current long term support version, since we seem to be stuck on an old development version.

There *is* a testsuite ('make check'), but it appears to not-yet fully support openssl-1.1.1.

​https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/18770 although 1.1.1 support is intended to be completed during v10's lifetime ​https://nodesource.com/blog/node-js-security-release-summary-august-2018/

I built it with 1.1.1 and have been using it on ​https:// without problems.

Running 'make check' adds 28MB to the build. If not using --shared-openssl, 'make check' succeeds in perhaps 1.5 SBU on this box (a lot of the python tests seem to use all CPUs). But with --shared-openssl there are a lot of failures, and more particularly TIMEOUT reports, and the failed tests seem to take about 14 minutes, most of which is waiting for the timeouts.

I am inclined to note that the testsuite is broken when using openssl-1.1.1.

Works for me.

Correction: what I was using with https was firefox, and that doesn't use openssl.

I just noticed that the external link to libuv is for the same libuv that we have in the book. Remeasuring.
