Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
**Problem**
When building a Node application with Webpack, calls to `RecordBatchStreamWriter.toNodeStream` fail with the error:
```
Error: "toNodeStream" not available in this environment
```
**Cause**
The `apache-arrow` package.json file [specifies `"sideEffects": false`](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/apache-arrow-13.0.0/js/gulp/package-task.js#L69), but the Node overrides required for streaming Arrow files are [applied as a side effect](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/apache-arrow-13.0.0/js/src/Arrow.node.ts#L27). I believe this is true for the [DOM overrides as well](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/apache-arrow-13.0.0/js/src/Arrow.dom.ts#L27).
**Suggested Fix**
I haven't tested this, but I think that wrapping the overrides in these two files in an IIFE [as is done here](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/143b475f94dad840be2eb109ff27f3181791ad9f/js/src/table.ts#L380) will fix this issue in the Webpack build.
