Checks if the given argument is a readable stream.
- Check if the value is different from `null`.
- Use `typeof` to check if the value is of type `object` and the `pipe` property is of type `function`.
- Additionally check if the `typeof` the `_read` and `_readableState` properties are `function` and `object` respectively.
```js
const isReadableStream = val =>
val !== null &&
typeof val === 'object' &&
typeof val.pipe === 'function' &&
typeof val._read === 'function' &&
typeof val._readableState === 'object';
```
```js
const fs = require('fs');
isReadableStream(fs.createReadStream('test.txt')); // true
```
