`buffer.parent` property is actually an alias of `buffer.buffer`
property. This patch actually doc-deprecates it and points the users to
the `buffer.buffer` property.

Buffer objects expose the underlying `Uint8Array`'s `buffer` property
by default. This patch formally documents it.

Allow all methods on `buffer` and `Buffer` to take `Uint8Array`
arguments where it makes sense. On the native side, there is
effectively no difference, and as a bonus the `isUint8Array`
check is faster than `instanceof Buffer`.

On some systems, some first bytes of allocated buffer can be zeroed

If there is a link in the headings, when the ToC is generated, that is
not properly linked and the square brackets are left as they are.
Even if we fix this, different parts of the heading will link to
different sections or even different pages. For example,
### What makes [`Buffer.allocUnsafe()`] and
[`Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow()`] "unsafe"?
will point to three different sections. `allocUnsafe` and
`allocUnsafeSlow` will link to their corresponding sections and all
other words actually link to the heading in the document. This could be
visually confusing.

* Speed up buffer.swap16 and swap32 by using builtins. Up to ~6x gain.
Drop transition point between JS and C++ implementations accordingly.
Amount of performance improvement not only depends on buffer size but
also memory alignment.
* Fix tests: C++ impl tests were testing 0-filled buffers so were
always passing.
* Add similar buffer.swap64 method.
* Make buffer-swap benchmark mirror JS impl.
doc/api/buffer.markdown has an entry of "added: REPLACEME" that should
be changed to the correct release number before tagged.
Because node is currently using a very old version of cpplint.py it
doesn't know that std::swap() has moved from <algorithm> to <utility> in
c++11. So until cpplint.py is updated simply NOLINT the line.
Technically it should be NOLINT(build/include_what_you_use), but that
puts the line over 80 characters causing another lint error.

string was introduced.
Introduce the new encoding string 'latin1' to be more explicit. The
previous 'binary' and documented as an alias to 'latin1'. While many
tests have switched to use 'latin1', there are still plenty that do both
'binary' and 'latin1' checks side-by-side to ensure there is no
regression.

* Remove unnecessary templating from SearchString
SearchString used to have separate PatternChar and SubjectChar template type
arguments, apparently to support things like searching for an 8-bit string
inside a 16-bit string or vice versa. However, SearchString is only used from
node_buffer.cc, where PatternChar and SubjectChar are always the same. Since
this is extra complexity that's unused and untested (simplifying to a single
Char template argument still compiles and didn't break any unit tests), I
removed it.

Add test cases for lastIndexOf. Test the fallback from BMH to
Boyer-Moore, which looks like it was totally untested before.
