Crypto hardens, fs watch race fixed

Node.js patches a crypto allocation failure path and fixes recursive fs watch ENOENT races; docs and tooling also updated.

Crypto now fails gracefully on cipher context allocation errors (Herrtianf47f941)

WebCrypto AES and ChaCha20-Poly1305 now return a failure status if cipher context allocation fails instead of hard-checking and aborting. The lower-level cipher init path also surfaces a proper ERR_CRYPTO_OPERATION_FAILED error, making these OOM-style failures handleable rather than fatal.

Recursive fs watch ignores deleted directories during scan (trivikr4d7996f)

The non-native recursive watcher now suppresses ENOENT when a directory disappears between discovery and scan, avoiding an unhandled watcher error in a real deletion race. A regression test was added to lock in the behavior.
