Format http://solc-bin.ethereum.org/bin/soljson-v*.js has changed

[gpersoon]

The format of http://solc-bin.ethereum.org/bin/soljson-v*.js has changed from version 0.5.14.
This results in the fact that source with a compiler version of 0.5.14 or higher shows the error:
Error: Contract could not be compiled. Try another pragma solidity version.

Until version 0.5.13:
https://solc-bin.ethereum.org/bin/soljson-v0.5.13+commit.5b0b510c.js

var Module=typeof Module!=="undefined"?Module:{};

https://solc-bin.ethereum.org/bin/soljson-v0.5.14+commit.1f1aaa4.js

"use strict";var Module=typeof Module!=="undefined"?Module:{}

This breaks the following piece of code (e.g. the checking for var Module).

async function getCompilersource(compilerURL) {
  try {
    const opts = {
      url: compilerURL,
      caching: true,
      transform: function (data) {
        if (data.substring(0, 10) != 'var Module') {
          throw Error('get compiler source fail');
        }
        return data;
      }
    };
    return await promiseAjax(opts);
  } catch (error) {
    throw error;
  }
}

Source is probably:
https://github.com/alincode/solcjs-core/blob/master/src/getCompilersource.js#L12

@gpersoon pull requests are welcome - do you maybe have students who are interested in this? :-) sadly we are currently very busy and smartcontract.codes and the related play-ed are at the moment not supported by anyone.

But thanks for the nice write-up
