Remove .pipe method

This method seems like really old cruft that doesn’t belong.

A few reasons I think it should be removed:

• Vinyl isn’t actually a stream, so having a pipe method could confuse duck-typing
• The pattern for dealing with streams in plugins is:

if (file.isStream()) {
  file.contents = file.contents.pipe(transform());
}

@contra do you agree?

@binarykitchen This ticket was for the removal of a really old function file.pipe that was never really used or adopted. file.contents = file.contents.pipe(whatever) is the replacement for this case. There are a bunch of issues with your example code, but that’s more something you should get help with on StackOverflow or similar.

Right, thanks
