buffer@4

Feross Aboukhadijehrequested to merge
bufferv4 into master

Node.js removed the buffer.toArrayBuffer() API sometime during node 0.11. Users who rely on it will have code that doesn't work in node.js, which is unfortunate.

feross/buffer v4.0.0 removed buffer.toArrayBuffer() to have parity with node.js.

Going forward, users can just use buffer.buffer to get an ArrayBuffer since Buffer is just a subclass of Uint8Array in both node.js and the browser.

This is a breaking change, since we're removing a method from the buffer.

I'm only sending this PR now, since buffer v4.1.0 has a 30% performance increase for lots of the buffer methods and I want users to have that 👍
