Rewrite some of JavaScript API in "ext/node" to Rust

An example PR that shows how it can be done: #17792

TODO:

• ext/node/polyfills/internal/buffer.mjs (refactor(ext/node): Use an internal DataView in Buffer #17815)
• ext/node/polyfills/zlib.js (@littledivy) feat: port node:zlib to rust #18291

I don't think we need to replace crypto-browserify file by file basis. What we use from crypto-browserify is mainly the 4 APIs publicEncrypt publicDecrypt privateEncrypt privateDecrypt, but crypto-browserify includes way more than that. I think we can implement these 4 APIs more directly by using some convenient crates from crates.io

Sounds good, thanks for investigating @kt3k!

Can I rewrite ext/node/polyfills/internal/util/inspect.mjs to Rust?

[iuioiua]

I want to implement crypto.Sign and crypto.Verify based on the work done in denoland/std#3190. However, it'd require bringing back some browserify-sign code deleted in #17792. Is that ok?

@Antonio476587
We are planning to replace util.inspect (of Node) by Deno.inspect first because they contain too much similar code (ref #17960). So it's not good time to do that now. (When that transition is finished, maybe it's worth it to rewrite Deno.inspect in Rust in the future)

[bartlomieju]

@iuioiua it would be preferable to use a Rust crate to implement required APIs via ops. Since we already supported most of the required algorithms it seems it's not necessary to bring browserify-sign to implement it. @littledivy could you provide some pointers here?

Most of these issues are solved now. We'll open a new one if necessary.
