[api-major] Update the minimum supported browsers/environments

Browse Source 
In the `legacy`-builds we (obviously) support the currently maintained Firefox ESR version, and looking at the [release history](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar) those are officially supported (by Mozilla) for about 1-1.5 years.
However, for non-Firefox browsers the `legacy`-builds currently attempt to "support" browsers that are approximately *three* years old.[1] Historically, in the PDF.js project, trying to support old browsers have caused some maintenance problems and even delayed adoption of new web-platform features/functionality.

To lessen the support burden, given that the primary purpose of the PDF.js library is still to develop the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer, this patch proposes that the upcoming *major* release changes the minimum supported browsers/environments as follows:
 - Chrome 85, which was released on 2020-08-25; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history
 - Firefox ESR (as before); see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar
 - Safari 14, which was released on 2020-09-16; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_version_history#Safari_14
 - Node.js 14 (as before), which is now explicitly listed to prevent it from accidentally breaking; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js#Releases

[1] In older browsers some functionality may not be available and generally we'll ask users to update to a modern browser when bugs, specific to old browsers, are being reported.
