There are a lot of changes in this commit:
1) Remove the `noAssert` argument from all read and write functions.
2) Improve the performance of all read floating point functions
significantly. This is done by switching to TypedArrays as the
write floating point write functions.
3) No implicit type coercion for offset and byteLength anymore.
4) Adds a lot of tests.
5) Moves the read and write functions to the internal buffer file
to split the files in smaller chunks.
6) Reworked a lot of existing tests.
7) Improve the performane of all all read write functions by using
a faster input validation and by improving function logic.
8) Significantly improved the performance of all read int functions.
This is done by using a implementation without a loop.
9) Improved error handling.
10) Rename test file to use the correct subsystem.

Stashing it away in internal/buffer so that it can't be used in
userland, but can still be used in internals.

Allow all methods on `buffer` and `Buffer` to take `Uint8Array`
arguments where it makes sense. On the native side, there is
effectively no difference, and as a bonus the `isUint8Array`
check is faster than `instanceof Buffer`.

Add buffer.transcode(source, from, to) method. Primarily uses ICU
to transcode a buffer's content from one of Node.js' supported
encodings to another.
Originally part of a proposal to add a new unicode module. Decided
to refactor the approach towrds individual PRs without a new module.
