Function process.hrtime.bigint() not found, when used inside a Web Worker

[Thomas Wilhelm-Stein]

Describe the bug

I cannot use Orama inside a Web Worker in Firefox and/or Chrome because it uses process, which is somehow defined, but doesn't supply the function bigint().

To Reproduce

Just do a simple search inside a Worker, like in this example:

import { create, search, insert } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@orama/orama@2.0.0-beta.12/+esm';

async function wrap() {
  const db = await create({
    schema: {
      title: 'string',
    }
  });

  await insert(db, { id: '1', title: 'Hello World' });

  return await search(db, { term: 'World' });
}

wrap().then(res => postMessage(res));

You'll need to load it like this on any HTML page:

new Worker('example.js', { type: 'module' });

In Firefox you'll get this error:

TypeError: O.hrtime.bigint is not a function utils.ts:103:26

In Chrome you'll get basically the same:

utils.ts:103 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: O.hrtime.bigint is not a function
    at z (utils.ts:103:27)
    at kn (search.ts:110:27)
    at wrap (w-orama.js:12:16)

Expected behavior

I expect the search to complete without the error.

In a Worker there is no window object, but obviously a process object, which doesn't behave like in Node.js.

You could be more specific about the bigint() function by using this on line 102 of utils.ts:

if (typeof process !== 'undefined' && process.hrtime !== undefined && typeof process.hrtime.bigint === 'function') {

For the const isServer I would use navigator instead of window because it's present in a Worker, but not Node.js.
