After recent PRs the size and scope of the CI workflow is now reduced, and this patch tries to simplify things further. More specifically we can directly specify the gulp-tasks in the workflow, and thus clean-up the `gulpfile` a tiny bit.
Note that this will technically be slower, since the tests are now run in series (rather than in parallel), however `gulp externaltest` runs so quickly that it really won't matter in practice.
Hopefully this will allow us to catch bugs in new Node.js versions earlier, rather than having to wait for bug reports.
Given that `CompressionStream` is (currently) only potentially used when saving a *modified* PDF document, which is unlikely to be a common use-case in Node.js environments, let's just disable the affected unit-test for now.
The active LTS version is now based on Node.js version 20, hence let's update the relevant workflows to use that one instead; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js#Releases
Given that we still support Node.js version 18, i.e. the maintenance LTS version, in the PDF.js library we'll keep testing both versions in GitHub Actions to prevent regressions.
In PR #16327 the `eslint-plugin-mozilla` package was updated so we no
longer have to force-install packages, and the force-install flags for
`npm install` were removed. However, the CI job was missing from this
commit, which we fix here. In general force-installing packages
shouldn't be necessary unless there are problems with dependencies,
which we would like to know about, so especially in the CI job it seems
like a good idea to not force-install packages to catch upcoming defects
early on.

Version 16 that we used before is now in maintenance mode, so we should
upgrade to the most recent LTS version. For more information on the
Node.js release schedule please refer to
https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule.
Version 14 that we used before is now in maintenance mode, so we should
upgrade to the most recent LTS version.
Moreover, use the most recent `setup-node` workflow version and syntax;
see https://github.com/actions/setup-node#usage.
This command was added all the way back when basic CI-support was first introduced (using Travis at the time), however it's never really intended to be used e.g. for local development.
By having a `npm test`-command listed in the `package.json` file, there's a very real risk that someone unfamiliar with the code-base would only run that one and thus miss all the other (more important) test-suites[1].
Hence this patch which removes the `npm test`-command, and instead simply calls the relevant gulp-task[2] directly in the GitHub Actions configuration.

[1] Which consist of the unit-tests (run in browsers), the font-tests (potentially), the reference-tests, and the integration-tests.
[2] Which is also renamed slightly, to better fit its current usage.
This makes it consistent with the GitHub Advanced Security file and,
more importantly, ensures that all steps have a proper name for better
visibility.
