Removes use of deprecated Buffer constructor

[skibz]

This patch updates the use of buffers to be in line with current standards.

The biggest upside is that buffers get zero-filled automatically when allocating them with Buffer.alloc, so we get to remove some manual zeroing and zero padding operations throughout the library.

I suppose the change I'm proposing here is no bueno if there's a desire to continue supporting users who are running Node versions prior to v5.10.0 (which is when Buffer.alloc, Buffer.from, and friends were introduced) without adding a nasty process.version conditional or something.

Really hoping that it's unlikely people still use such old versions of Node, though. Node 5 was almost an eternity ago... 🙈

Thank you for the PR, @skibz.

Would you please update the minimum node version in

node-radius/package.json

Line 11 in 5b55be2

"engines": { "node": ">=0.8.0" },

?

[skibz]

Certainly!
