### Platforms affected

All

### What does this PR do?

Start 8.1.0 minor release, based on changes from `master` through 22 August, 
with the following additions:
- minor workaround fixes needed to work on deprecated Node.js 4 version
- update to use cordova-windows@~6.0.x by default (GH-691)

Motivations for minor release:
- resolve `npm audit` issues that show up in 8.0.0, as already done in `master` 
branch
- Include some AppVeyor CI/Travis CI stability & performance improvements from 
`master`, including 30% shorter runtime in fetch.spec.js 
(3be60ef02c3a9351c97256a3b26a174f2e2647f8)
- use cordova-android@~7.1.x by default (GH-646)
- use cordova-windows@~6.0.x by default (GH-691)
- Small desire to include the few minor changes to `src` along with the other 
changes in `master` up to 3be60ef02c3a9351c97256a3b26a174f2e2647f8 (30% shorter 
runtime in fetch.spec.js)
