This backports the new `Buffer.alloc()`, `Buffer.allocUnsafe()`,
and `Buffer.from()` APIs for v5.

Also included in this backport is the change that allows fill('')
to zero-fill (as opposed to doing nothing) and the additional
`byteOffset` and `length` arguments for `Buffer(arrayBuffer)` and
`Buffer.from(arrayBuffer)`.

This backport includes the new test cases.

This backport *does not* update all of the internal uses of the
existing `Buffer()` constructor.

This backport also *does not* include the soft deprecation of the
existing `Buffer()` constructor.

* npm: Upgrade to v3.8.3. Fixes a security flaw in the use of
authentication tokens in HTTP requests that would allow an attacker to
set up a server that could collect tokens from users of the command-line
interface. Authentication tokens have previously been sent with every
request made by the CLI for logged-in users, regardless of the destination
of the request. This update fixes this by only including those tokens
for requests made against the registry or registries used for the
current install. (Forrest L Norvell)
