Jonas Jenwald b6ba8cc84a [api-minor] Deprecate providing binary data as Buffer in Node.js environments
The `Buffer`-object is Node.js specific functionality[1], thus (obviously) not found in browsers. Please note that the PDF.js library has never officially supported/documented that binary data can be passed as a `Buffer`, and that *internally* in the `src/core`-code we only work with standard `Uint8Array`s.
This means that if, in Node.js environments, a `Buffer` is passed to the API we need to wrap it into a `Uint8Array`, which essentially means creating a copy of the data and thus increasing memory usage.
