process: add optional detail to process emitWarning
Adds a new method signature variant for process.emitWarning() that accepts an options object. The options object may include a new `detail` option that allows additional detail text to be associated with the warning. By default, this additional text will be printed to stderr along with the warning, and included on the Warning Error object using the `.detail` property. e.g. ```js process.emitWarning('A message', { code: 'WARNING123', detail: 'This is additional detail' }); // Emits: // (node {pid}) [WARNING123] Warning: A message // This is additional detail ``` PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/12725 Reviewed-By: Colin Ihrig <cjihrig@gmail.com>

+
+* `warning` {string|Error} The warning to emit.
+* `options` {Object}
+ * `type` {string} When `warning` is a String, `type` is the name to use
+ for the *type* of warning being emitted. Default: `Warning`.
+ * `code` {string} A unique identifier for the warning instance being emitted.
+ * `ctor` {Function} When `warning` is a String, `ctor` is an optional
+ function used to limit the generated stack trace. Default
+ `process.emitWarning`
+ * `detail` {string} Additional text to include with the error.
+
+The `process.emitWarning()` method can be used to emit custom or application
+specific process warnings. These can be listened for by adding a handler to the
+[`process.on('warning')`][process_warning] event.
+
+```js
+// Emit a warning with a code and additional detail.
+process.emitWarning('Something happened!', {
+ code: 'MY_WARNING',
+ detail: 'This is some additional information'
+});
+// Emits:
+// (node:56338) [MY_WARNING] Warning: Something happened!
+// This is some additional information
+```
+
+In this example, an `Error` object is generated internally by
+`process.emitWarning()` and passed through to the
+[`process.on('warning')`][process_warning] event.
+
+```js
+process.on('warning', (warning) => {
+ console.warn(warning.name); // 'Warning'
+ console.warn(warning.message); // 'Something happened!'
+ console.warn(warning.code); // 'MY_WARNING'
+ console.warn(warning.stack); // Stack trace
+ console.warn(warning.detail); // 'This is some additional information'
+});
+```
+
+If `warning` is passed as an `Error` object, the `options` argument is ignored.
