### Notable changes

Node.js 12.16.0 included 6 regressions that are being fixed in this release

**Accidental Unflagging of Self Resolving Modules**:

12.16.0 included a large update to the ESM implementation. One of the new features,
Self Referential Modules, was accidentally released without requiring the `--experimental-modules`
flag. This release is being made to appropriately flag the feature.

**Process Cleanup Changed Introduced WASM-Related Assertion**:

A change during Node.js process cleanup led to a crash in combination with
specific usage of WASM. This has been fixed by partially reverted said change.
A regression test and a full fix are being worked on and will likely be included
in future 12.x and 13.x releases.

**Use Largepages Runtime Option Introduced Linking Failure**:

A Semver-Minor change to introduce `--use-largepages` as a runtime option
introduced a linking failure. This had been fixed in master but regressed as the fix has not yet gone out
in a Current release. The feature has been reverted, but will be able to reland with a fix in a future
Semver-Minor release.

**Async Hooks was Causing an Exception When Handling Errors**:

Changes in async hooks internals introduced a case where an internal api call could be called with undefined
causing a process to crash. The change to async hooks was reverted. A regression test and fix has been proposed
and the change could re-land in a future Semver-Patch release if the regression is reliably fixed.

**New Enumerable Read-Only Property on EventEmitter breaks @types/extend**

A new property for enumerating events was added to the EventEmitter class. This
broke existing code that was using the `@types/extend` module for extending classses
as `@types/extend` was attemping to write over the existing field which the new
change made read-only. As this is the first property on EventEmitter that is
read-only this feature could be considered Semver-Major. The new feature has been
reverted but could re-land in a future Semver-Minor release if a non breaking way
of applying it is found.

**Exceptions in the HTTP parser were not emitting an uncaughtException**

A refactoring to Node.js interanls resulted in a bug where errors in the HTTP
parser were not being emitted by `process.on('uncaughtException')` when the `async_hooks` `after`
hook exists. The fix to this bug has been included in this release.
