buffer: reduce overhead of StringBytes::Encode for UCS2

Currently calling StringBytes::Encode on a UCS2 buffer
results in two copies of the buffer and the usage of
std::vector::assign makes the memory usage unpredictable,
and therefore hard to test against.

This patch makes the memory usage more predictable by
allocating the memory using node::UncheckedMalloc and
handles the memory allocation failure properly. Only
one copy of the buffer will be created and it will
be freed upon GC of the string.
