buffer: SlowBuffer only accept valid numeric values
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fixes a regression that appeared with the new Buffer implementation in v3.
Without this change, calling the SlowBuffer constructor with something else
than a number would abort on the C++ side. This makes sure that the length
argument is coerced to number or is 0.

Fixes: #2634
PR-URL: #2635
