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

these differences export kMaxLength from the buffer module with the
correct size for the given architecture.
