Stable Timers Promises API:

The Timers Promises API provides an alternative set of timer functions
that return Promise objects. Added in Node.js v15.0.0, in this release
they graduate from experimental status to stable.

Contributed by James Snell - [#38112]

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades:

Node.js v16.0.0 will be the first release where we ship prebuilt
binaries for Apple Silicon. While we’ll be providing separate tarballs
for the Intel (`darwin-x64`) and ARM (`darwin-arm64`) architectures the
macOS installer (`.pkg`) will be shipped as a ‘fat’ (multi-architecture)
binary.

V8 9.0:

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.0, including performance
tweaks and improvements.

This update also brings the ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices, which
provide the start and end indices of the captured string. The indices
array is available via the `.indices` property on match objects when the
regular expression has the `/d` flag.
