It’s *so* hard to remember that it’s `UintXArray` but not
`(write|read)UintX`. Let’s fix that by just providing aliases. 😊

Our docs describe static methods as Class Methods which seems
idiosyncratic for JavaScript. Align with MDN which calls them static
methods.

JSON format for our docs will still use the key name `classMethods` for
this. I would like to change it to `staticMethods` but I don't know if
that will break things for consumers. So, leaving it alone. It's a
machine-consumable label more than a human-readable so I can live with
that.

When cherry-picking release commits for LTS releases into master,
the `REPLACEME` metadata can be taken over as well, to give users
a more accurate view of what is being released on which release line.
This addresses this problem for all previous LTS releases for which
this has not been done.

`buffer.write` documentation has an incaccuracy w.r.t the `length`
parameter: It says default number of bytes written is
`buf.length - offset`. Change it to:
If the buffer has sufficient space from the offset, the string is
written upto `length`.
If the buffer is short in space, only `buf.length - offset` bytes are
written.

There was an unclear sentence fragment that needed fixing, so I edited
the entire paragraph for clarity. I also removed irrelevant information
about behavior before Node.js 8.0.0. That version of Node.js is no
longer supported and these docs will never apply to 8.0.0. (At the time
of this writing, 10.x is the oldest supported line, and so changes to
the docs will never be backported farther than the 10.x docs.)

`ArrayBuffer` instances do not have `.length` property.
Instead they have `.byteLength` property.
Fixed that in the description of
`new Buffer(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])` and
`Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])`.

The use of dashes -- in general, but especially in our docs -- can be
problematic. It is used inconsistently and there is always another form
of punctuation that is as good or better for the situation. In an effort
to reduce the number of variations we use to display the same types of
information, remove the various uses of dashes from the documentation.
