stream: ensure that instanceof fast-path is hit.
With the new Ignition+TurboFan pipeline, the instanceof fast-path can be missed if the right-hand side needs a TDZ check, i.e. is const declared on a surrounding scope. This doesn't apply to Node 8 at this point, where it's at V8 5.8, but it applies as soon as V8 5.9 rolls. There's work going on in Ignition (and TurboFan) to optimize those TDZ checks properly, but those changes will land in V8 6.1, so might not end up in Node 8. One way to work-around this in Node core for now is to use var instead of const for those right-hand sides for instanceof for now, especially Buffer in case of streams. This is not beautiful, but proper ducktape. Improves readable-bigread.js by ~23% with Node LKGR.
