build: Updates to enable AIX support

These are the core changes that allow AIX to compile. There are still some test failures as there are some patches needed for libuv and npm that we'll need to contribute through those communities but this set allows node to be built on AIX and pass most of the core tests The change in js2c is because AIX does not support $ in identifier names.
