* 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

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.
This patch makes buffers the preferred input for fs.write() and
fs.writeSync(). The old string interface is still supported by
converting strings to buffers dynamically. This allows to remove the
C++ code for string handling which is also part of this patch.
