After PR 8459, the run-time of the various `gulp` test commands has regressed quite badly on Windows. For me, `gulp test` now takes approximately *twice* as long when run locally on Windows.
The problem seems to be the Babel transpilation step, which takes well over five minutes to run.[1]
For someone like me, who runs tests a lot locally, this slowdown is really hurting the overall development experience.
To get around this I tested setting `PDFJS_NEXT = true` in `gulpfile.js`, since the transpilation step isn't necessary when testing in a modern browser.
However, having to edit `gulpfile.js` every time that I need to run tests isn't very practical. Hence this patch, which adds an environment variable that allows you to disable the transpilation simply by using e.g. `PDFJS_NEXT=true gulp test`.
I hope that this can be considered an acceptable solution, such that I don't need to maintain this patch locally (or worse, edit `gulpfile.js` locally before testing).

[1] This can also be observed on the Windows bot, but it seems fine on Linux.
This patch intends to simplify future ES6 refactoring of the thumbnail code, since the current code isn't going to work well together with proper `Class`es.
Please note that the `glyphlist.js` and `unicode.js` files are converted to CommonJS modules instead, since Babel cannot handle files that large and they are thus excluded from transpilation.
Add different code-paths to `{CMap, ToUnicodeMap}.charCodeOf` depending on length, since `Array.prototype.indexOf` can be extremely inefficient for very large arrays (issue 8372)
With the current way that the `HandTool` is implemented, if someone would try to also add a Zoom tool (as issue 1260 asks for) that probably wouldn't work very well given that you'd then have two cursor tools which may not play nice together.
Hence this patch, which attempts to refactor things so that it should be simpler to add e.g. a Zoom tool as well (given that that issue is marked as "good-beginner-bug", and I'm not sure if that really applies considering the current state of the code).
Note that I personally have no interest in implementing a Zoom tool (similar to Adobe Reader) since I wouldn't use it, but I figured that it can't hurt to make this code a bit more future proof.
PR 7341 added special handling for `nameddest`s that look like pageNumbers, to prevent issues since we previously *incorrectly* supported specifying a pageNumber directly in the hash; i.e. `#10` versus the correct `#page=10` format.
Since this behaviour wasn't correct, PR 7757 fixed and deprecated the old format, which means that we no longer need to maintain the `nameddest` hack in multiple files.
Also updates a `console.log` statement in the `gulp importl10n` command (since I forgot it in a previous patch, and it didn't seem necessary with a separate patch for it).
Added test for ReadableStream.
Adds ref-implementation license-header in streams-lib
and change gulp task to copy external/streams/ in build/
external/streams/ and build/dist/external/streams folder.
Adds README.md and LICENSE.md
