buffer: implement WHATWG Encoding Standard API

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/jasnell/encoding-standard into master

Provide an (initially experimental) implementation of the WHATWG Encoding Standard API (TextDecoder and TextEncoder). The is the same API implemented on the browser side.

By default, with small-icu, only the UTF-8, UTF-16le and UTF-16be decoders are supported. With full-icu enabled, every encoding other than iso-8859-16 is supported.

This provides a basic test, but does not include the full web platform tests. Note: many of the web platform tests for this would fail by default because we ship with small-icu by default.

The implementation is added without changing any of the existing encoding support in core.
