Some of the benchmark code can be a little dense. Not *very* hard to
read but perhaps harder than it needs to be.
These changes (many of them whitespace-only) hopefully improve
readability.
There are also a few cases of `assert.equal()` that are changed to
`assert.strictEqual()`.

In most cases, named functions match the variable or property to which
they are being assigned. That also seems to be the practice in a series
of PRs currently being evaluated that name currently-anonymous
functions.
This change applies that rule to instances in the code base that don't
comply with that practice.
This will be enforceable with a lint rule once we upgrade to ESLint
3.8.0.

* Speed up buffer.swap16 and swap32 by using builtins. Up to ~6x gain.
Drop transition point between JS and C++ implementations accordingly.
Amount of performance improvement not only depends on buffer size but
also memory alignment.
* Fix tests: C++ impl tests were testing 0-filled buffers so were
always passing.
* Add similar buffer.swap64 method.
* Make buffer-swap benchmark mirror JS impl.
doc/api/buffer.markdown has an entry of "added: REPLACEME" that should
be changed to the correct release number before tagged.
Because node is currently using a very old version of cpplint.py it
doesn't know that std::swap() has moved from <algorithm> to <utility> in
c++11. So until cpplint.py is updated simply NOLINT the line.
Technically it should be NOLINT(build/include_what_you_use), but that
puts the line over 80 characters causing another lint error.

Enabled no-self-assign rule in ESLint.
This required one change in a benchmark file. Changed a loop (that is
outside of the benchmark itself, so performance is not critical) from a
for loop that repeats a string to use String.prototype.repeat() instead.
While at it, took the opportunity to const-ify the benchmark file.
Also moved the "Strict" section in the .eslintrc to match where it is in
the ESLint documentation. Updated the link for Strict rules to point to
the ESLint website rather than the GitHub-hosted code.

eliminate redeclared variables. A conservative approach is used so as to

There is a benchmark for the class method `Buffer.compare()` but not for
the instance method `buf.compare()`. This adds that benchmark.
I used this to confirm a performance regression in an implementation I
was considering. While the implementation was a bust, it does seem like
the benchmark is worthwhile.
The benchmark is nearly identical to the existing `Buffer.compare()`
benchmark except, of course, that it calls `buf.compare()` instead.

The benchmark runner spawns new processes for each configuration. The
specific configuration is transfered by process.argv. This means that
the values have to be parsed. As of right now only numbers and strings
are parsed correctly. However other values such as objects where used.
This fixes the benchmarks that used non-string/number values and
prevents future issues by asserting the type.

Break up Buffer#toString() into a fast and slow path. The fast path
optimizes for zero-length buffers and no-arg method invocation.
The speedup for zero-length buffers is a satisfying 700%. The no-arg
toString() operation gets faster by about 13% for a one-byte buffer.
This change exploits the fact that most Buffer#toString() calls are
plain no-arg method calls. Rewriting the method to take no arguments
means a call doesn't go through an ArgumentsAdaptorTrampoline stack
frame in the common case.

The test is supposed to measure the performance of the base64 encoder
so move the Buffer#write() calls out of the benchmark section.
The overhead of the calls isn't terrible (about 1-3%) but having
unrelated activity in a micro-benchmark is never a good idea.
