doc: clarify EventEmitter error handling in threat model

Add documentation explaining that applications are expected to attach
'error' event handlers to EventEmitters that can emit errors, including
HTTP streams. Crashes resulting from missing error handlers are not
considered denial-of-service vulnerabilities in Node.js.

+#### Unhandled 'error' Events on EventEmitters (CWE-248)
+
+* EventEmitters that can emit `'error'` events require the application to
+  attach an `'error'` event handler. This includes HTTP streams and other
+  Node.js core streams. If the application fails to attach an `'error'`
+  handler, the EventEmitter will throw an uncaught exception, which may
+  crash the process.
+* Crashes resulting from missing `'error'` handlers are not considered
+  denial-of-service vulnerabilities in Node.js. It is the application's
+  responsibility to properly handle errors by attaching appropriate
+  `'error'` event listeners to EventEmitters that may emit errors.
