Array Buffers

See original GitHub issue

If I try to put array buffer into a db that has valueEncoding set to ‘binary’ I get an error about

message: "value cannot be an empty ArrayBuffer"
name: "WriteError"

as far as I can tell this is due to it being improperly turned into a Uint8 at some point, I managed to trace it to here where the array Buffer failed the Buffer.isBuffer test, but then when new Buffer(ArrayBuffer) is called it uses ArrayBuffer.prototype.length instead of ArrayBuffer.prototype.byteLength, so I’ll likely have to open an issue there as well

Btw, my comment was from 2014! I think Node.js is moving towards supporting Uint8Array and ArrayBuffer in addition to Buffer for built-in modules like fs, etc. Just FYI
