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`.

Shouldn't need to reference it this way. copy() is native method. Can simply call binding.copy(...).

ditto on using binding.copy().

LGTM but echoing @mscdex, some error messages need updating.

Marking this as semver-major because of the change in error messages... |
|
@mscdex @bnoordhuis Would you be okay with me updating the error messages in a follow-up PR? I know they need to be changed and I know that that’s semver-major, it just feels a bit silly to hold up the rest of the PR on that |

I don't think intentionally leaving incorrect error messages is a good idea. |

Alright, updated with error messages changed. CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit/6621/ |

Description of change
Allow all methods on
bufferandBufferto takeUint8Arrayarguments where it makes sense. On the native side, there is
effectively no difference, and as a bonus the
isUint8Arraycheck is faster than
instanceof Buffer.Benchmark results @ https://gist.github.com/addaleax/8544e43f7d28a58d032944137afeabf4, summary in this fold
