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

In the hopes of soon having the benchmark code linted, this change
groups all the likely non-controversial lint-compliance changes such as
indentation, semi-colon usage, and single-vs.-double quotation marks.
Other lint rules may have subtle performance implications in the V8
currently shipped with Node.js. Those changes will require more careful
review and will be in a separate change.

Buffer.byteLength is important for speed because it is called whenever a
new Buffer is created from a string.
This commit optimizes Buffer.byteLength execution by:
- moving base64 length calculation into JS-land, which is now much
faster
- remove redundant code and streamline the UTF8 length calculation
It also adds a benchmark and better tests.
