In preparation for a lint rule that will enforce
assert.deepStrictEqual() over assert.deepEqual(), change tests and
benchmarks accordingly. For tests and benchmarks that are testing or
benchmarking assert.deepEqual() itself, apply a comment to ignore the
upcoming rule.

* 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

Can now call fill() using following parameters if value is a String:
fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding])
And with the following if value is a Buffer:
fill(buffer[, start[, end]])
The encoding is ignored if value is not a String. All other non-Buffer
values are coerced to a uint32.
A multibyte strings will simply be copied into the Buffer until the
number of bytes run out. Meaning partial strings can be left behind:
Buffer(3).fill('\u0222');
// returns: <Buffer c8 a2 c8>
In some encoding cases, such as 'hex', fill() will throw if the input
string is not valid.
