When node began using the OneByte API (f150d56) it also switched to
officially supporting ISO-8859-1. Though at the time no new encoding
string was introduced.
Introduce the new encoding string 'latin1' to be more explicit. The
previous 'binary' and documented as an alias to 'latin1'. While many
tests have switched to use 'latin1', there are still plenty that do both
'binary' and 'latin1' checks side-by-side to ensure there is no
regression.

Expose `common.refreshTmpDir()` and only call it
for tests that use common.tmpDir or common.PIPE.
A positive side effect is the removal of a code
smell where child processes were detected by the
presence of `.send()`. Now each process can decide
for itself if it needs to refresh tmpDir.
