The docs for readLine.pause are misleading. I seriously spent hours on this. If
it isn't a bug, at least it should be well documented.

Add generic functions for (U)Int read/write operations on Buffers. These
support up to and including 48 bit reads and writes.
Include documentation and tests.
Additional work done by Trevor Norris to include 40 and 48 bit write
support. Because bitwise operations cannot be used on values greater
than 32 bits, the operations have been replaced with mathematical
calculations. Regardless, they are still faster than floating point
operations.

Currently, cluster workers can be removed from the workers list in three
different places:
- In the exit event handler for the worker process.
- In the disconnect event handler of the worker process.
- In the disconnect event handler of the cluster master.
However, handles for a given worker are cleaned up only in one of these
places: in the cluster master's disconnect event handler.
Because these events happen asynchronously, it is possible that the
workers list is empty before we even clean up one handle. This makes
the assert that makes sure that no handle is left when the workers
list is empty fail.
This commit removes the worker from the cluster.workers list only when
the worker is dead _and_ disconnected, at which point we're sure that
its associated handles are cleaned up.
Fixes#8191 and #8192.

Only attributes of 'cluster.settings' will be modified after the first
call, leaving all other cluster initialization alone. Each call that
includes a 'settings' argument triggers a 'setup' event to be emitted.
Instead of each call resetting all values to their defaults, use the
current settings (if any) as the default. This retains setupMaster's
support how cluster.fork() uses setupMaster() to ensure
cluster.settings has been populated.
