forced require of non-existant buffer

Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

• CLI: 6.8.0
• Cross-platform modules: 6.5.15
• Android Runtime: 6.5.3
• iOS Runtime: 6.5.2

Describe the bug
After updating the node_modules in my project including js-base64, starting the app resulted in an exception on trying to require the module buffer, which was never anywhere explicitly required.

According to the author (https://github.com/dankogai/js-base64/issues/126#issuecomment-674838031) the new version does check for existence of the Buffer object to maybe use it if available.

Expected behavior

Either do not add the require('buffer') or add buffer to the dependencies if not already there.

Start by reproducing app startup with the listed NativeScript versions and inspect the dependency path from js-base64 to the unavailable buffer module. Check the CLI's dependency declarations and startup handling; done when the app no longer attempts an unavailable require, either because the dependency is available or the require is not introduced.
