test: increase workers to 8 in cluster-disconnect

Increasing the number of workers from 2 to 8 makes this test
more likely to trigger race conditions. See #5330 for background.

stream: don't create unnecessary buffers in Readable

If there is an encoding, and we do 'stream.push(chunk, enc)', and the
encoding argument matches the stated encoding, then we're converting from
a string, to a buffer, and then back to a string.  Of course, this is a
completely pointless bit of work, so it's best to avoid it when we know
that we can do so safely.
stream: Make default encoding configurable

Pretty much everything assumes strings to be utf-8, but crypto
traditionally used binary strings, so we need to keep the default
that way until most users get off of that pattern.
tools: remove unnecessary cpplint rules

We don't actually care about header order much, and since we never use
stl classes, 'string' isn't an issue for node ever.
src: Add StringBytes static util class

Four functions:

- StringBytes::StorageSize()
- StringBytes::Size()
- StringBytes::Write()
- StringBytes::Encode()
src: Use StringBytes in StreamWrap
src: use StringBytes for DecodeWrite/DecodeBytes/Encode

Bonus: this makes node::Encode actually work properly with base64,
ucs2, hex, etc.
buffer: DRY string encoding using StringBytes

This also templatizes the Buffer::*Slice functions, and the template
function probably cannot be safely used outside of Node.  However, it
also SHOULD not be used outside of Node, so this is arguably a feature
as well as a caveat.
crypto: Pass strings to binding layer directly
crypto: use StringBytes::Encode
crypto: Pass encodings to C++ for Sign/Verify
