Description of change
This is a backport of #5910 and is identical to what landed in master up to
s/Buffer.from/new Buffer/
.Do not convert typed arrays to Buffer for deepEqual since their values may not be accurately represented by 8-bit ints. Instead perform binary comparison of underlying ArrayBuffers, but only when the array types match.
Never apply any kind of optimization for floating-point typed arrays since bit pattern equality is not the right kind of check for them.
Fixes: #5907 (introduced in #4330)
