Description
Leveldown had support for string encoding for keys and values, but bdb depends and strictly uses buffers for everything. So we can drop support for strings and simplify the codebase. (no need for converting functions etc.)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the encoding and conversion paths for string keys and values, then trace their callers and existing coverage. Done means string support and its conversion code are removed while buffer-only behavior remains covered.
