Node changed some signatures, behaviors, and error handling here in recent versions. As far as I can tell:

• The script.runInNewContext(...) method has never taken a path parameter, and passing the path has always been wrong.
• The script.runInNewContext(...) method started taking an [options] parameter at some point, and validating it, so the bad path parameter now throws.
• vm.createScript(...) is "soft deprecated" but basically fine, and keeping it looks more compatible.

This seems like the smallest and most compatible correct change.

Under Node 10, started Aphlict. Before: fatal error on bad options parameter to runInNewContext() (expected dictionary). After: notification server starts.
