buffer: add encoding parameter to fill()

Can now call fill() using following parameters if value is a String:

    fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding])

And with the following if value is a Buffer:

    fill(buffer[, start[, end]])

The encoding is ignored if value is not a String. All other non-Buffer
values are coerced to a uint32.

A multibyte strings will simply be copied into the Buffer until the
number of bytes run out. Meaning partial strings can be left behind:

    Buffer(3).fill('\u0222');
    // returns: <Buffer c8 a2 c8>

In some encoding cases, such as 'hex', fill() will throw if the input
string is not valid.

+This is meant as a small simplification to creating a Buffer. Allowing the
+creation and fill of the Buffer to be done on a single line:
 
 ```js
 const b = new Buffer(50).fill('h');
 console.log(b.toString());
   // Prints: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 ```
 
+`encoding` is only relevant if `value` is a string. Otherwise it is ignored.
+`value` is coerced to a `uint32` value if it is not a String or Number.
+
+The `fill()` operation writes bytes into the Buffer dumbly. If the final write
+falls in between a multi-byte character then whatever bytes fit into the buffer
+are written.

+Buffer(3).fill('\u0222');
