doc: recompile before testing core module changes
Changes to core modules do not take effect unless recompiled. Tip new contributors about this when describing how to run tests in contribution guide. Removed `jslint` from first test command example, as jslint is included when running `make test`. Fixed wrong path of example stream2-transform test.
