v8.1.3 proposal

After talking with @mcollina for a bit, we agreed that it would be best to do a patch release soon rather than waiting for 8.2.0, so this is a light version of that proposal. We’d like to include https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/13850 once that lands, but that should be about it.

I’ve marked 8.2.0 as blocked for now, but if any of the release people have the time to create RC builds for 8.2.0, I think that would still be a good way to get feedback on TF+I in Node 8.
