Make the inner loop execute fewer compare-and-branch executions per
processed byte, resulting in a 50% or more speedup.
This coincidentally fixes an out-of-bounds read:
while (unbase64(*src) < 0 && src < srcEnd)
Should have read:
while (src < srcEnd && unbase64(*src) < 0)
But this commit removes the offending code altogether.

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.

Buffer.byteLength is important for speed because it is called whenever a
new Buffer is created from a string.
This commit optimizes Buffer.byteLength execution by:
- moving base64 length calculation into JS-land, which is now much
faster
- remove redundant code and streamline the UTF8 length calculation
It also adds a benchmark and better tests.

This makes possible to use `for..of` loop with
buffers. Also related `keys`, `values` and `entries`
methods are added for feature parity with `Uint8Array`.

The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file. There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.
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.

compare() works like String.localeCompare such that:
Buffer.compare(a, b) === a.compare(b);
equals() does a native check to see if two buffers are equal.

Increase the performance and simplify the logic of Buffer#write{U}Int*
and Buffer#read{U}Int* methods by placing the byte manipulation code
directly inline.
Also improve the speed of buffer-write benchmarks by creating a new
call directly to each method by using Function() instead of calling by
buff[fn].
