Add fallback to globalThis if window and global undefined

[austintheriotgl]

This PR attempts to fix this error here: #122

It keeps the original window keyword for backwards compatibility for older browsers, adds a check if the global keyword is defined (it is in Node environments, but not in browser contexts), then falls back to globalThis if the other two are not defined, which should allow it to work in Web Worker contexts.

[drfuzzyness]

Rather than remove the window check, would it be better to add to the ternary chain to check if global is defined, then fall back to globalThis? Just using globalThis is a JS feature from 2020 and this library targets platforms from the 2000s.

Thanks @drfuzzyness, that seems reasonable to me, so long as the expression typeof global doesn't throw in Web Worker contexts. I would expect it to work similarly to the main thread, which doesn't throw:

Updated the PR with your suggestion.

I also adjusted the .jshintrc file to allow the globalThis global keyword, and the build now passes locally for me:

This is failing in CI for reasons that appear unrelated to my changes:

Can you please merge in master to see if the updated ci works. We really need to move off grunt and jasmine. Would love a pr for that if anyone is reading this

[austintheriotgl]

@niemyjski Just merged in master 👍

Hey all, is there anything you need from me to move this along? I see that CI is still failing
