The `noAssert` option has been removed but it is still shown in sample

In addition to `--pending-deprecation`, emit a deprecation warning
for usage of the `Buffer()` constructor for call sites that are outside
of `node_modules`.
The goal of this is to better target developers, rather than
burdening users with an omnipresent and quickly ignored warning.
This implements the result of a TSC meeting discussion
from March 22, 2018.

Keep the introduction for Buffers and character encodings short and to
the point. The current introduction doesn't provide much in the way of
useful additional information, but it is a bit confusing in its wording.
("such as" seems like it ought to refer to "encoded characters" but it
actually refers to character encodings, which are not mentioned in the
sentence. It may be arguable as to whether "hex-encoded" is in fact a
character encoding, whether it should be stylized as "Hex-encoded" or
not, and whether it should be spelled out as "Hexadecimal-encoded". None
of that information is particularly useful to the end user at this point
in the text. Omitting it simplifies and improves the documentation.)
Additionally, the section is now wrapped to 80 characters.

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.

Zero-fill when `Buffer.alloc()` receives invalid fill data.
A solution like https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/17427 which switches
to throwing makes sense, but is likely a breaking change.
This suggestion leaves the behaviour of `buffer.fill()` untouched,
since any change to it would be a breaking change, and lets
`Buffer.alloc()` check whether any filling took place or not.
