doc: add `added:` information for buffer

Add `added:` and `deprecated:` entries to buffer.md.
These are incomplete (particularly for some of the ancient features),
but correct to the best of my knowledge. This serves as a
demonstration of how the `added:`/`deprecated:` metadata may be
implemented in 'real' docs.
