node: --no-browser-globals configure flag

Introduce `--no-browser-globals` configure flag. With this flag set, following globals won't be exported: - `setTimeout`, `clearTimeout`, `setInterval`, `clearInterval`, `setImmediate`, `clearImmediate` - `console` These are provided by the DOM implementation in browser, so the `--no-browser-globals` flag may be helpful when embedding node.js within chromium/webkit.
