fix: improve ArrayBuffer brand check in ensureBuffer

`instanceof` is notoriously unreliable in JS, because it can
be fooled by prototype manipulation and breaks down entirely
for cross-realm brand checks.

Using `Object.prototype.toString` is generally a better choice
for this.

This also adds `SharedArrayBuffer` as an alternative, as both
should be treated the same under most circumstances.
