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.

The modules in lib/internal are intended for internal use in Node.js core only, and are not accessible with require() from user modules.
These are subject to change at any time. Reliance on these modules outside of core is not supported in any way.
