The reasons for making this change are:
- This property is not, nor has it ever been, used anywhere in the PDF.js display-layer.
- Related to the previous point, the format of the `defaultAppearance`-string is such that it'd be difficult to use it as-is in the display-layer anyway.
- It (usually) contains the "raw" appearance-string, from the PDF document, which is neither parsed nor validated and could thus be bogus.
- We now expose a `defaultAppearanceData`-property, which is first of all used in the display-layer and secondly contains actually parsed/validated data.
- In the event that a third-party implementation needs the `defaultAppearance`-string, it could be easily constructed from the recently added `defaultAppearanceData`-property.
All-in-all, I'm thus suggesting that we stop exposing an unused and unnecessary property on all Annotation-instances.
* JS - Handle correctly hierarchy of fields
- it aims to fix#13132;
- annotations can inherit their actions from the parent field;
- there are some fields which act as a container for other fields:
- they can be access through js so need to add them with an empty type (nothing in the spec about that but checked in Acrobat);
- calculation order list (CO) can reference them so need make them through this.getField;
- getArray method must return kids.
- field values are number, string, ... depending of their type but nothing in the spec on how to know what's the type:
- according to the comment for Canonical Format: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#page=461
- it seems that this "type" can be guessed from js action Format (when setting a type in Acrobat DC, the only affected thing is this action).
- util.scand with an empty string returns the current date.
- 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.
While there is nothing *outright* wrong with the existing implementation, it can however lead to increased memory usage in one particular case (that I completely overlooked when implementing this):
For "data:"-URLs, which by definition contains the entire PDF document and can thus be arbitrarily large, we obviously want to avoid sending, storing, and/or logging the "raw" docBaseUrl in that case.
To address this, this patch makes the following changes:
- Ignore any non-string in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, since those are unsupported anyway, already on the main-thread.
- Ignore "data:"-URLs in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, to avoid having to send what could potentially be a *very* long string to the worker-thread.
- Parse the `docBaseUrl` option *directly* in the `BasePdfManager`-constructors, on the worker-thread, to avoid having to store the "raw" docBaseUrl in the first place.
This extends PR 13033 slightly, with a heuristic to support corrupt PDF documents where the `LineAnnotation`s have an empty /Rect-entry. Please note that while I have no idea if this is "correct", this patch at least makes us output the same /BBox as re-saving in Adobe Reader does.
This is mostly done using `gulp lint --fix` with a few manual changes in

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.

Now that we have scripting support, warning about e.g. JavaScript actions doesn't seem necessary anymore. Especially considering that scripting-related actions are/will not be parsed by the `Catalog.parseDestDictionary` method anyway, since it's intended for handling "simple" actions.
All of this code predates the existence of native JS classes, however we can now clean this up a bit. This patch thus let us remove some variable "shadowing" from the code.
This helper function is first of all only called *twice*, and secondly it also leads to unnecessary intermediate allocations given how the `TypedArray`s are handled.
Hence we can simply inline this small function, and thus directly allocate the combined `TypedArray` instead.
The `compareByteArrays` is first of all duplicated in multiple closures in the `src/core/crypto.js` file. Secondly, despite its name, it's also functionally equivalent to the now existing `isArrayEqual` helper function.
The `isArrayEqual` helper function is changed to use a standard `for`-loop, rather than `Array.prototype.every`, since that ought to be slightly more efficient given that we're now using it with (potentially) larger data.

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.
The following checks are all unneeded, and could easily cause confusion when reading the code. (All of them are my fault as well, since I've sometimes added those checks without really thinking about the surrounding code.)
- In `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` there cannot be any `MissingDataException`s thrown, given that the `Page.getOperatorList` method waits for all the necessary /Resources to load first. Furthermore, note also that if an error is thrown from `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` then it'd completely break rendering of that page, since any errors thrown from `Page.getOperatorList` are simply sent to the main-thread.
- In `PartialEvaluator.handleColorN` there cannot be any `MissingDataException`s thrown, given that again the `Page.getOperatorList` method waits for all the necessary /Resources to load before operatorList parsing starts.
- In `XRef.readXRef` there cannot be any `MissingDataException`s thrown, given that we're *explicitly* requesting (and waiting for) the entire document in `pdfManagerReady` (in `src/core/worker.js`) before re-parsing of a corrupt document starts.
* 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
