* Allocates a buffer having a specified number of bytes.
*
* ## Notes
*
* - The underlying memory of returned `Buffer` instances is not initialized. Memory contents are unknown and may contain sensitive data.
* - When the size is less than half the pool size (specified on the `Buffer` constructor), memory is allocated from the `Buffer` pool for faster allocation of new `Buffer` instances.
*
*
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} size - number of bytes to allocate
* @throws {TypeError} must provide a nonnegative integer
* @returns {Buffer} new `Buffer` instance
*
* @example
* var buf = allocUnsafe( 10 );
* // returns <Buffer>
