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

When stream.flush() is called without a callback, an empty listener is
being added. Since flush may be called multiple times to push SSE's
down to the client, multiple noop listeners are being added. This in
turn causes the memory leak detected message.

Starting in V8 v4.3 the maximum array index of a typed array is the same
as the largest Smi supported on a given architecture. To compensate for
these differences export kMaxLength from the buffer module with the
correct size for the given architecture.

If the accumulation of data for the final Buffer is greater than
kMaxLength it will throw an un-catchable RangeError. Instead now pass
the generated error to the callback.

Many of the util.is*() methods used to check data types
simply compare against a single value or the result of
typeof. This commit replaces calls to these methods with
equivalent checks. This commit does not touch calls to the
more complex methods (isRegExp(), isDate(), etc.).

Turn on strict mode for the files in the lib/ directory. It helps

If you call z.flush();z.write('foo'); then it would try to write 'foo'
before the flush was done, triggering an assertion in the zlib binding.
Closes#4950
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.
In zlibBuffer(), don't wait for the garbage collector to reclaim the zlib memory
but release it manually. Reduces memory consumption by a factor of 10 or more
with some workloads.
Test case:
function f() {
require('zlib').deflate('xxx', g);
}
function g() {
setTimeout(f, 5);
}
f();
Observe RSS memory usage with and without this commit. After 10,000 iterations,
RSS stabilizes at ~35 MB with this commit. Without, RSS is over 300 MB and keeps
growing.
Cause: whenever the JS object heap hits the high-water mark, the V8 GC sweeps
it clean, then tries to grow it in order to avoid more sweeps in the near
future. Rule of thumb: the bigger the JS heap, the lazier the GC can be.
A side effect of a bigger heap is that objects now live longer. This is harmless
in general but it affects zlib context objects because those are tied to large
buffers that live outside the JS heap, on the order of 16K per context object.
Ergo, don't wait for the GC to reclaim the memory - it may take a long time.
Fixes#4172.
