Remove deprecated buffer.get / buffer.set methods by feross · Pull Request #4594 · nodejs/node

@feross 

Fixes #4587.

These have been deprecated since Apr 27, 2013, and the plan was to
remove them in "node v0.13”.

buffer.get(index) is superseded by buffer[index].

buffer.set(index, value) is superseded by buffer[index] = value.

These have never been documented at any point in node's history.
