A ponyfill that provides an implementation of `Buffer.from` for Node.js-style `Buffer` creation. Useful when native `Buffer.from` is not available, it converts arrays, ArrayBuffers (including typed array memory ranges), existing Buffers, and strings into new Buffers, using an optional string encoding (default `utf8`).
