Replace readable-stream with native API

[Fuzzyma]

Readable Stream was always available in node and the readable-stream package seems to be a more stable target than node itself. However, in a lot of places nodes stream might suffice

Version 4: Node 12 - 18 are covered
Version 3: Node 6 - 10
Version 2: Node 0.8 - 8

Especially if the package uses es newer versions of node, the stream api should be stable enough to replace it with native

For through2 I think it is more useful to migrate people away from it directly since its not been updated for 5 years.
The list of though2 doesnt look impressive but the dependents of the dependents have huge download counts and therefore I think it would be worth it as well

// EDIT: Issue tracking this: #148

to add, it can be replaced with node:stream as well, everything that through2 has built-in stream has as well

https://github.com/webpack/memory-fs is deprecated in favor of memfs which doesn't depend on readable-stream
