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

common.js needs to be loaded in all tests so that there is checking
for variable leaks and possibly other things. However, it does not
need to be assigned to a variable if nothing in common.js is referred
to elsewhere in the test.

If an object's prototype is munged it's possible to bypass the
instanceof check and cause the application to abort. Instead now use
HasInstance() to verify that the object is a Buffer, and throw if not.
This check will not work for JS only methods. So while the application
won't abort, it also won't throw.
In order to properly throw in all cases with toString() the JS
optimization of checking that length is zero has been removed. In its
place the native methods will now return early if a zero length string
is detected.
