Several changes:
* Soft-Deprecate Buffer() constructors
* Add `Buffer.from()`, `Buffer.alloc()`, and `Buffer.allocUnsafe()`
* Add `--zero-fill-buffers` command line option
* Add byteOffset and length to `new Buffer(arrayBuffer)` constructor
* buffer.fill('') previously had no effect, now zero-fills
* Update the docs

Expose `common.refreshTmpDir()` and only call it
for tests that use common.tmpDir or common.PIPE.
A positive side effect is the removal of a code
smell where child processes were detected by the
presence of `.send()`. Now each process can decide
for itself if it needs to refresh tmpDir.

Enable linting for the test directory. A number of changes was made so
all tests conform the current rules used by lib and src directories. The
only exception for tests is that unreachable (dead) code is allowed.
test-fs-non-number-arguments-throw had to be excluded from the changes
because of a weird issue on Windows CI.

The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file. There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.
It seems like a good idea on the face of it, but lowWaterMarks are
actually not useful, and in practice should always be set to zero.
It would be worthwhile for writers if we actually did some kind of
writev() type of thing, but actually this just delays calling write()
and the overhead of doing a bunch of Buffer copies is not worth the
slight benefit of calling write() fewer times.
Streams2 style streams might have already kicked off a read() or write()
before emitting 'data' events. Make the test less dependent on ordering
of when data events occur.
