As per ecma-262 2015's #sec-%typedarray%-buffer-byteoffset-length,
`offset` would be an integer, not a 32 bit unsigned integer. Also,
`length` would be an integer with the maximum value of 2^53 - 1, not a
32 bit unsigned integer.
This would be a problem because, if we create a buffer from an
arraybuffer, from an offset which is greater than 2^32, it would be
actually pointing to a different location in arraybuffer. For example,
if we use 2^40 as offset, then the actual value used will be 0,
because `byteOffset >>>= 0` will convert `byteOffset` to a 32 bit
unsigned int, which is based on 2^32 modulo.
This is a redo, as the ca37fa527f broke
CI.
