Description of change

Partially fixes https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6271. This commit simply documents the V8 cli option --stack_trace_limit but specifies dashes instead of underscores, which is the Node.js cli convention. I did not write a test for this, since the behavior hasn't changed. But I did validate locally that --stack-trace-limit=N works as now documented.

The issue noted also has a feature request for functional changes to the stack trace display, potentially filtering Node.js internals. And also, potentially increasing the Error.stackTraceLimit just for the first tick for Module.runMain. This PR does not address those requests since it wasn't really clear to me from the conversation if those were really desired or needed.
