internal/util.js defined toInteger() and toLength() but they were only
used by buffer.js. Inlining these small functions results in a small but
statistically-significant performance gain.

@MylesBorins Much to my surprise, this change that had measurable positive performance impact on master appears to have the opposite impact here:

                                                                    improvement confidence      p.value

 buffers/buffer-from.js n=2048 len=2048 source="arraybuffer"            -6.82 %        *** 4.554484e-14

I haven't looked into why, but for now, I'm going to close this and add a do-not-land-on-v6.x label to the original PR.
