This patch will help reduce memory usage, especially for longer documents, when the user scrolls around in the thumbnailView (in the sidebar).
Note how the `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` method will, assuming it's safe to do so, release main-thread resources associated with the page. These include things such as e.g. image data (which can be arbitrarily large), and also the operatorList (which can also be quite large).
Hence when pages are evicted from the `PDFPageViewBuffer`, on the `BaseViewer`-instance, the `PDFPageView.destroy` method is invoked which will (among other things) call `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` in the API.
However, looking at the `PDFThumbnailViewer`/`PDFThumbnailView` classes you'll notice that there's no attempt to ever call `PDFPageProxy.cleanup`, which implies that in certain circumstances we'll essentially keep all resources allocated permanently on the `PDFPageProxy`-instances in the API.
In particular, this happens when the users opens the sidebar and starts scrolling around in the thumbnails. Generally speaking you obviously need to keep all thumbnail *images* around, since otherwise the thumbnailView is useless, but there's still room for improvement here.
Please note that the case where a *rendered page* is used to create the thumbnail is (obviously) completely unaffected by the issues described above, and this rather only applies to thumbnails being explicitly rendered by the `PDFThumbnailView.draw` method.
For the latter case, we can fix these issues simply by calling `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` once rendering has finished. To prevent *accidentally* pulling the rug out from under `PDFPageViewBuffer` in the viewer, which expects data to be available, this required adding a couple of new methods[1] to enable checking that it's indeed safe to call `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` from the `PDFThumbnailView.draw` method.
It's really quite fascinating that no one has noticed this issue before, since it's been around since basically "forever".

[1] While it should be *very* rare for `PDFThumbnailView.draw` to be called for a pageView that's also in the `PDFPageViewBuffer`, given that pages are rendered before thumbnails and that the *rendered page* is used to create the thumbnail, it can still happen since rendering is asynchronous.
Furthermore, it's also possible for `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` to be disabled, in which case checking the `PDFPageViewBuffer` for active pageViews *really* matters.
* remove 1st param of _createPopup (almost useless for a method)
* prepend popup div to avoid to have them on top of some highlights (and so "disable" partially mouse events)
* add a ref test for issue #12504
* in some pdf, there are actions with "event.source.hidden = ..."
* in order to handle visibility when printing, annotationStorage is extended to store multiple properties (value, hidden, editable, ...)
* When no actions then set it to null instead of empty object
* Even if a field has no actions, it needs to listen to events from the sandbox in order to be updated if an action changes something in it.
By using optional chaining, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining, it's possible to reduce unnecessary code-repetition in many cases.
Note that these changes also reduce the size of the *built* `pdf.js` file, when `SKIP_BABEL == true` is set, and for the `MOZCENTRAL` build-target that result in a `0.1%` filesize reduction from a simple and mostly mechanical code change.
Note that a number of these cases are covered by existing unit-tests, and a few others only matter for the development/build scripts.
Furthermore, I've also tried to the best of my ability to test each case *manually* to hopefully further reduce the likelihood of this patch introducing any bugs.

The vast majority of the time, unless a Pattern is active, the `strokeColor`-property contains a "simple" colour value represented by a String. Hence it seems somewhat ridiculous to do a `hasOwnProperty` check on a String, and it's should thus be possible to improve things a tiny bit here.
Unfortunately using a simple `instanceof` check would only work for `TilingPattern`s, but not for the `ShadingIRs` given how they are implemented; see `src/display/pattern_helper.js`. (While that file could probably do with some clean-up, given the age of some of its code, that probably shouldn't happen here.)
Finally, the `this.type = "Pattern"`-property of the various Shadings/TilingPatterns were removed, since I cannot see why it's necessary when we can simply check for a `getPattern` method instead. Note that part of this code even pre-dates the main/worker-thread split, which probably in part explains why it looks the way it does.
The `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` method is necessary to determine if there's any blend modes on a page, which unfortunately requires *synchronous* parsing of the /Resources of each page before its rendering can start (see the "StartRenderPage"-message).
In practice it's not uncommon for certain /Resources-entries to be found on more than one page (referenced via the XRef-table), which thus leads to unnecessary re-fetching/re-parsing of data in `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes`.
To improve performance, especially in pathological cases, we can cache /Resources-entries when it's absolutely clear that they do not contain *any* blend modes at all[1]. This way, subsequent `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` calls can be made significantly more efficient.
This patch was tested using the PDF file from issue 6961, i.e. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/files/121712/test.pdf:
```

}

```
which gave the following results when comparing this patch against the `master` branch:
```

[1] In the case where blend modes *are* found, it becomes a lot more difficult to know if it's generally safe to skip /Resources-entries. Hence we don't cache anything in that case, however note that most document/pages do not utilize blend modes anyway.
Given the number of parameters, and the fact that many of them are booleans, the call-sites are no longer particularly easy to read and understand. Furthermore, this slightly improves the formatting of the JSDoc-comment, since it needed updating as part of these changes anyway.
Finally, this removes an unnecessary `numViews === 0` check from `getVisibleElements`, since that should be *very* rare and more importantly that the `binarySearchFirstItem` function already has a fast-path for that particular case.
* it's faster to generate the color code in using a table for components
* it's very likely a way faster to parse (when setting the color in the canvas)
*Please note:* I cannot be sure if this actually helps, since we've not enabled LGTM for the PDF.js repository[1], however I hope that it should stop LGTM reporting things that we're already using ESLint to enforce.

[1] In case the patch does nothing, we can simply revert it and move on :-)
This patch addresses a review comment, which pointed out that we should *also* handle the pageNumber-input, from PR 12493.
Given that a user *manually* changing pages using the pageNumber-input, on the toolbar, could be regarded as a pretty strong indication of user-intent w.r.t. navigation in the document, hence I suppose that updating the browser history in this case as well probably won't hurt.
All of these methods will, in one way or another, cause e.g. scrolling or zooming to occur and consequently they don't really make sense unless there's an active PDF document. Especially since all of these methods end up calling into a `BaseViewer`-instance, which already contains similar early returns in essentially all of it's methods and setters.
This fixes only those warnings, as reported by https://lgtm.com/projects/g/mozilla/pdf.js?mode=list, that make sense (as far as I'm concerned).
Hence this patch leaves the following things unaddressed:
- The "recommendation"-category, since it only complains about unused variables. However, note that all of those cases are purposely included and that there's thus ESLint-disable comments added to explictly allow them.
- The "warning"-category, which still contains two complaints. However, as far as I can tell, they are both false positives.
Given first of all the false positives of the LGTM static analyzer, and secondly that we'd need to add (essentially duplicated) disable-comments for the unused variable cases, it's not entirely clear to me if we actually want to work towards including LGTM in the PDF.js project (e.g. running alongside Travis) or if we should just close issue 11965.
Given that the `Map`-pattern apparently has undesirable performance characteristics, change this getter back to using an Object instead and check its size before returning it.
Rather than returning an *empty* Object[1] we should be returning `null` instead, since that's consistent with existing API-functionality.
To avoid having to *manually* track if the Object is empty, this patch also introduces a small helper function to check its size.
As can be seen in `src/core/fonts.js`, this method only accepts *one* parameter, hence it's somewhat difficult to understand what the Annotation-code is actually attempting to do here.
The only possible explanation that I can imagine, is that the intention was initially to call `Font.charToGlyph` *directly* instead. However, note that that'd would not actually have been correct, since that'd ignore one level of font-caching (see `this.charsCache`). Hence the unused arguments are removed, in `src/core/annotation.js`, and the `Font.charToGlyph` method is now marked as "private" as intended.
