Combine the stringToUTF16String and stringToUTF16BEString helper functions

Given that these functions are virtually identical, with the latter only adding a BOM, we can combine the two. Furthermore, since both functions were only used on the worker-thread, there's no reason to duplicate this functionality in both of the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files.
