Can now call fill() using following parameters if value is a String:
fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding])
And with the following if value is a Buffer:
fill(buffer[, start[, end]])
The encoding is ignored if value is not a String. All other non-Buffer
values are coerced to a uint32.
A multibyte strings will simply be copied into the Buffer until the
number of bytes run out. Meaning partial strings can be left behind:
Buffer(3).fill('\u0222');
// returns: <Buffer c8 a2 c8>
In some encoding cases, such as 'hex', fill() will throw if the input
string is not valid.

With V8 4.4 removing the external array data API currently used by
Buffer, the new implementation uses the Uint8Array to back Buffer.
Buffers now have a maximum size of Smi::kMaxLength, as defined by V8.
Which is ~2 GB on 64 bit and ~1 GB on 32 bit.
The flag --use-old-buffer allows using the old Buffer implementation.
This flag will be removed once V8 4.4 has landed.
The two JS Buffer implementations have been split into two files for
simplicity.
Use getter to return expected .parent/.offset values for backwards

If an object's prototype is munged it's possible to bypass the
instanceof check and cause the application to abort. Instead now use
HasInstance() to verify that the object is a Buffer, and throw if not.
This check will not work for JS only methods. So while the application
won't abort, it also won't throw.
In order to properly throw in all cases with toString() the JS
optimization of checking that length is zero has been removed. In its
place the native methods will now return early if a zero length string
is detected.

Break up Buffer#toString() into a fast and slow path. The fast path
optimizes for zero-length buffers and no-arg method invocation.
The speedup for zero-length buffers is a satisfying 700%. The no-arg
toString() operation gets faster by about 13% for a one-byte buffer.
This change exploits the fact that most Buffer#toString() calls are
plain no-arg method calls. Rewriting the method to take no arguments
means a call doesn't go through an ArgumentsAdaptorTrampoline stack
frame in the common case.

The Buffer constructor is used pervasively throughout io.js, yet it was
one of the most unwieldy functions in core. This commit breaks up the
constructor into several small functions in a way that makes V8 happy.
About 8-10% CPU time was attributed to the constructor function before
in buffer-heavy benchmarks. That pretty much drops to zero now because
V8 can now easily inline it at the call site. It shortens the running
time of the following simple benchmark by about 15%:
for (var i = 0; i < 25e6; ++i) new Buffer(1);
And about 8% from this benchmark:
for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; ++i) new Buffer('x', 'ucs2');
