/**
 * Convert all objects that represent a bytestring to a node.js Buffer or a Uint8Array.
 * Objects that that represent bytestrings are objects of the form {"type": "Buffer", data: [<array of bytes>]}.
 * This is the kind of object that node.js returns when a Buffer is stringified as JSON.
 * Note that as an optimization, the conversion (potentially) happens in place.
 * @param value           An object that will be converted in place and recursively
 * @param useNodeJSBuffer If true decode to node.js Buffer, otherwise use Uint8Array
 * @returns The converted object with bytestrings replaced by Buffers or Uint8Arrays
 *
 * @remark
 * Ensure you use the return value of this function because if the input value is a bytestring,
 * it will NOT be converted in place.
