Currently the `fontName`-property contains an actual /Name-instance, which is a problem given that its fallback value is an empty string; see ca7f546828/src/core/default_appearance.js (L35)
The reason that this is a problem can be seen in ca7f546828/src/core/primitives.js (L30-L34), since an empty string short-circuits the cache. Essentially, in PDF documents, a /Name-instance cannot be empty and the way that the `DefaultAppearanceEvaluator` does things is unfortunately not entirely correct.
Hence the `fontName`-property is changed to instead contain a string, rather than a /Name-instance, which simplifies the code overall.
*Please note:* I'm tagging this patch with "[api-minor]", since PR 12831 is included in the current pre-release (although we're not using the `fontName`-property in the display-layer).
Currently only URL-strings are officially supported by `getDocument`, however at this point in time I cannot really see any compelling reason to not support `URL`-objects as well.
Most likely the reason that we've don't already support `URL`-objects, in `getDocument`, is that historically `URL` wasn't fully implemented across browsers and our old polyfill wasn't perfect; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL#browser_compatibility
*Please note:* Because of how the `url` parameter is currently handled, there's actually *some* cases where passing a `URL`-object to `getDocument` already works. That, in my opinion, provides additional motivation for supporting `URL`-objects officially, since it makes the API more consistent.
The following is an attempt to summarize the *current* situation, based on the actual code rather than the JSDocs:
- `getDocument("url string")` works and is documented.[1]
- `getDocument({ url: "url string", })` works and is documented.[1]
- `getDocument(new URL(...))` throws immediately, since no supported parameters are found.
- `getDocument({ url: new URL(...), })` actually works even though it's not documented.[1] Originally, when data was fetched on the worker-thread, this would likely have thrown since `URL` isn't clonable.[2]
- `getDocument({ url: { abc: 123, }, })`, or some similarily meaningless input, will be "accepted" by `getDocument` and then throw a `MissingPDFException` when attempting to fetch the bogus data.
With the changes in this patch, not only is `URL`-objects now officially supported and documented when calling `getDocument`, but we'll also do a much better job at actually validating any URL-data passed to `getDocument` (and instead fail early).

[1] In *browsers*, we create a valid URL thus indirectly validating the input. In Node.js environments, on the other hand, no validation is done since obtaining a baseUrl is more difficult (and PDF.js is primarily written for browsers anyway).

- implement few positioning properties: position, width, height, anchor;
- implement font element;
- implement fill element (used by font) and its children (linear, radial, ...);
- font property is inherited from ancestor container (see https://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/XFA-3_3.pdf#page=43) so let CSS handles that stuff;
- in order to reduce the number of properties to set, only set non default properties and put the default in CSS;
- set a background to some containers to be able to see them (will be removed in a future commit).
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
It seems reasonable to place this alongside the *similar* `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function. This way, with the changes in the next patch, we also avoid having to expose the `isDataScheme` function in the API itself and we instead expose `getPdfFilenameFromUrl` in the API (which feels overall more appropriate).
A significant portion of the code-base has now been converted to use `let`/`const`, rather than `var`, hence it should be possible to simply enable the ESLint `no-var` rule globally.
This way we can ensure that new code won't accidentally use `var`, and it also removes the need to manually enable the rule in various folders.
Obviously it makes sense to continue the efforts to replace `var`, but that should probably happen on a file and/or folder basis.
Please note that this patch excludes the following code:
- The `extensions/` folder, since that seemed easiest for now (and I don't know exactly what the support situation is for the Chromium-extension).
- The entire `external/` folder is ignored, since most of it's currently excluded from linting.
For the code that isn't imported from elsewhere (and should be ignored), we should probably (at some point) bring the code up to the same linting/formatting standard as the rest of the code-base.
- Various files in the `test/` folder are ignored, as necessary, since the way that a lot of this code is loaded will require some care (or perhaps larger re-factoring) when removing `var` usage.
- strokeColor corresponds to borderColor;
- support fillColor and textColor;
- support colors on the different annotations;
- fix typo in aforms (+test).
Rather than converting the `AnnotationStorage`-data to an Object, before sending it to the worker-thread, we should be able to simply send the internal `Map` directly.
The "structured clone algorithm" doesn't have a problem with `Map`s, however the `LoopbackPort` used when workers are *disabled* (e.g. in Node.js environments) didn't use to support them. With PR 12997 having lifted that restriction, we should now be able to simply send the `AnnotationStorage`-data as-is rather than having to iterate through it to first create an Object.
*Please note:* The changes in `src/core/annotation.js` could have been a lot more compact if we were able to use optional chaining in the `src/core` folder. Unfortunately that's still not possible, since SystemJS is being used in the development viewer (i.g. `gulp server`) and fixing that is *still* blocked by [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687).
With the previous patch this function is now *only* accessed on the worker-thread, hence it's no longer necessary to include it in the *built* `pdf.js` file.
With the previous patch this functionality is now *only* accessed on the worker-thread, hence it's no longer necessary to include it in the *built* `pdf.js` file.
The only reason, as far as I can tell, for parsing the Metadata on the main-thread is how it was originally implemented. When Metadata support was first implemented, it utilized the [`DOMParser`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser) which isn't available in workers.
Today, with the custom XML-parser being used, that's no longer an issue and it seems reasonable to move the Metadata parsing to the worker-thread[1], since that's where all parsing should happen (for performance reasons).
Based on these changes, we'll be able to reduce the now unnecessary duplication of the XML-parser (and related code) in both of the *built* `pdf.js`/`pdf.worker.js` files.
Finally, this patch changes the `_repair` method to use "Array + join" rather than string concatenation.

[1] This needed the previous patch, to enable sending of `Map`s between threads with workers disabled.
* don't set a value in annotationStorage by default:
- having an undefined when the annotation is rendered for saving/printing means nothing has changed so use normal appearance
- aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1681687
* change the way to compute font size when this one is null in DA:
- make fontSize proportional to line height
- in multiline case, take into account the number of lines for text entered to adapt the font size
- the parser is base on a class extending XMLParserBase
- it handle xml namespaces:
* each namespace is assocated with a builder
* builder builds nodes belonging to the namespace
* when a node is inserted in the parent namespace compatibility is checked (if required)
- to avoid name collision between xml names and object properties, use Symbol.
Note how, in the `if (this.stateManager.stateStack.length !== 0) {` branch, we're attempting to access the not yet defined variable[1] `args`. If this code-path is ever hit, an Error will be thrown and parsing will thus be aborted immediately (likely leading to e.g. rendering bugs).
Note that I found this purely by accident, since I happened to glance at the LGTM report. However, I've since found that the error is also present during the unit-test[2] and with this patch we're actually testing the *intended* thing here.
As part of fixing this, and to avoid re-introducing a similar bug in the future, we'll now instead always reset `args.length` *before* attempting to read the next operator.
Also, we can use the existing `EvaluatorPreprocessor.savedStatesDepth` getter to simplify the save/restore detection a tiny bit.

[1] The ESLint rule `no-use-before-define` would have helped catch this problem, but unfortunately we cannot enable that without quite a bit of refactoring all over the code-base.
[2] The unit-test was updated such that it would fail in the `master`-branch.
- For wrapped scrolling, we unfortunately need to do a fair bit of parsing of the *current* page layout. Compared to e.g. the spread-modes, where we can easily tell how the pages are laid out, with wrapped scrolling we cannot tell without actually checking. In particular documents with varying page sizes require some care, since we need to check all pages on the "row" of the current page are visible and that there aren't any "holes" present. Otherwise, in the general case, there's a risk that we'd skip over pages if we'd simply always advance to the previous/next "row" in wrapped scrolling.
- For horizontal scrolling, this patch simply maintains the current behaviour of advancing *one* page at a time. The reason for this is to prevent inconsistent behaviour for the next and previous cases, since those cannot be handled identically. For the next-case, it'd obviously be simple to advance to the first not completely visible page. However for the previous-case, we'd only be able to go back *one* page since it's not possible to (easily) determine the page layout of non-visible pages (documents with varying page sizes being a particular issue).
- For vertical scrolling, this patch maintains the current behaviour by default. When spread-modes are being used, we'll now attempt to advance to the next *spread*, rather than just the next page, whenever possible. To prevent skipping over a page, this two-page advance will only apply when both pages of the current spread are visible (to avoid breaking documents with varying page sizes) and when the second page in the current spread is fully visible *horizontally* (to handle larger zoom values).
In order to reduce the performance impact of these changes, note that the previous/next-functionality will only call `getVisibleElements` for the scroll/spread-modes where that's necessary and that "normal" vertical scrolling is thus unaffected by these changes.
To support these changes, the `getVisibleElements` helper function will now also include the `widthPercent` in addition to the existing `percent` property.
The `PDFViewer._updateHelper` method is changed slightly w.r.t. updating the `currentPageNumber` for the non-vertical/spread modes, i.e. won't affect "normal" vertical scrolling, since that helped simplify the overall calculation of the page advance.
Finally, these new `BaseViewer` methods also allow (some) simplification of previous/next-page functionality in various viewer components.
*Please note:* There's one thing that this patch does not attempt to change, namely disabling of the previous/next toolbarButtons respectively the firstPage/lastPage secondaryToolbarButtons. The reason for this is that doing so would add quite a bit of complexity in general, and if for some reason `BaseViewer._getPageAdvance` would get things wrong we could end up incorrectly disabling the buttons. Hence it seemed overall safer to *not* touch this, and accept that the buttons won't be `disabled` despite in some edge-cases no further scrolling being possible.
* Add a parser to get font data from the default appearance
- pdfium & poppler use a special parser too to get these info.
* Update src/core/default_appearance.js

This patch is a rebased *and* refactored version of PR 9448, such that it applies cleanly given that `PDFFindController` has changed since that PR was opened; obviously keeping the original author information intact.
This patch will thus ensure that e.g. fractions, and other things that we normalize before searching, will still be highlighted correctly in the textLayer.
Furthermore, this patch also adds basic unit-tests for this functionality.
*Note:* The `[api-minor]` tag is added, since third-party implementations of the `PDFFindController` must now always use the `pageMatchesLength` property to get accurate length information (see the `web/text_layer_builder.js` changes).

There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
Given that the API will now, after PR 12039, automatically pick the correct factories to use depending on the environment (browser vs. Node.js), we can utilize that in the unit-tests as well. This way we don't have to manually repeat the same initialization code in *multiple* unit-tests.
*Note:* The *official* PDF.js API is defined in `src/pdf.js`, hence the new exports in `src/display/api.js` will not affect that.
Also, updates the unit-test `FileReaderFactory` helpers similarily.
*Drive-by change:* Fix the `CMapReaderFactory` usage in the annotation unit-tests, since the cache should only contain raw data and not a Promise. While this obviously works as-is, having unit-tests that "abuse" the intended data format can easily lead to unnecessary failures if changes are made to the relevant `src/core/` code.
