password and salt parameter allows both string and buffer, but the doc only says string

For crypto.pbkdf2Sync and crypto.pbkdf2, the password and salt parameter allows both string and buffer, but the doc only says string.

I think this is explicit and for backwards compatibility. See https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/crypto.js#L57-L68

But, can the document be more accurate?

Did a pass on the crypto docs - #14805
One other issue identified - #14804 ( @zhanzhenzhen if you're up to it, you are welcome to help with documenting options. Our CONTRIBUTING guide is not too bad. )

As far as I can tell the docs have been updated and improved to include this information. Closing but @refack feel free to reopen if I'm wrong here.
