chore: remove node buffers from runtime code (#66)

Node `Buffers` are subclasses of `Uint8Array` and we don't use any
`Buffer`-specific functions, so do not demand `Buffer`s where
`Uint8Array`s will do. If other modules in the stack actually require
`Buffer`s, let the failure occur there.

`Buffer`s are still used in the tests because the `Buffer` requirement
needs pull out of (at least) the `cids` and `multihash` modules first.

BREAKING CHANGE: does not convert input to node Buffers any more, uses Uint8Arrays instead

@@ -175,17 +173,20 @@ There is no `content` function for a `CBOR` node.
 When `entry` is a file or a `raw` node, `offset` and/or `length` arguments can be passed to `entry.content()` to return slices of data:
 
 ```javascript
-const bufs = []
+const length = 5
+const data = new Uint8Array(length)
+let offset = 0
 
 for await (const chunk of entry.content({
   offset: 0,
-  length: 5
+  length
 })) {
-  bufs.push(chunk)
+  data.set(chunk, offset)
+  offset += chunk.length
 }
 
 // `data` contains the first 5 bytes of the file
-const data = Buffer.concat(bufs)
+return data
 ```
 
 If `entry` is a directory or hamt shard, passing `offset` and/or `length` to `entry.content()` will limit the number of files returned from the directory.
