constants: freeze the constants object

Constants ought to be constant. The primary goal of this commit is to
make constants exposed in require('constants') immutable, as they were
prior to node@7.0.0, and as the constants exposed on fs.constants,
crypto.constants, etc. are.

Since this is implemented by using Object.freeze, it also has the side
effect of making the entire exports of require('constants') immutable,
so no new constants can be defined on the object in userland.
