Title: Support building Node.JS with http_parser shared library

Some distributions such as Fedora ship http_parser as a shared library in order to simplify pushing out security updates (only the package containing the shared library needs to be updated, rather than all packages compiling it statically). With this patch, Node.JS can be linked against the system library instead of the bundled copy.
