[ServerWebSocket] binaryType now defaults to "nodebuffer"

Previously, this defaulted to "uint8array", so this shouldn't be a breaking change unless you make use of `.slice()` in which case it will now be a reference to the same ArrayBuffer rather than a clone.

The rationale for this change is most usages of Uint8Array on the server need a little more than just the bytes. Many npm packages expect Buffer rather than Uint8Array. Directly returning it for binary websocket messages is faster than creating another one.
