Rather than first checking if data exists before fetching it from storage, we can simply do the lookup directly and then check its value.
Note that this follows the same pattern as utilized in the `AnnotationStorage.setValue` method.
Given that it's only used with `Map`s, and that it's currently implemented in such a way that we (indirectly) must iterate through the data *twice*, some simplification cannot hurt here.
Note that the only reason that we're not using `Object.fromEntries(...)` directly, at each call-site, is that that one won't guarantee that a `null` prototype is being used.
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.

Note that this particular helper function is, with the exception of the `GENERIC` default viewer and the (unsupported) SVG-backend, mostly unused at this point in time. Hence we should be able to clean-up this helper function slightly.
Also, fixes a small inconsistency in the `SVGGraphics` initialization in the viewer, by passing in the `disableCreateObjectURL` compatibility-option. Given that the SVG-backend isn't officially supported/recommended this shouldn't have been an issue, but given that I spotted this it can't hurt to fix it.
Note how the `PDFAttachmentViewer` handles PDF file attachments specially, by opening them in a new window/tab, rather than forcing them to be downloaded. This is done to improve the overall UX, since browsers in general are able to handle PDF files internally.
However, for file *annotations* we're currently not attempting to do the same thing and are instead just downloading them directly. In order to unify the behaviour, without having to duplicate a lot of code, the opening of PDF file attachments is thus moved into a new `DownloadManager.openOrDownloadData` method.
- strokeColor corresponds to borderColor;
- support fillColor and textColor;
- support colors on the different annotations;
- fix typo in aforms (+test).
This is similar to the other methods, and the only reason for this not having been done originally is that the `cancel` functionality is a later addition.
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).
*Please note:* The `defer` parameter has been enabled by default ever since PR 9777 (in 2018), which first shipped in PDF.js release `2.0.943`.
With workers *disabled*, e.g. in Node.js environments, this has been used ever since without any problems reported[1].
The impetus for this change was that I happened to notice that *if* the `LoopbackPort` was used with synchronous event dispatching, we'd simply send that data as-is to the listeners. This created an inconsistency in the data returned from the `pdf.worker.js` file, since `postMessage` used with *actual* workers (or the `LoopbackPort` with `defer = true`) will ignore/throw when encountering unclonable data.
Originally my intention was simply to just call `cloneValue` regardless of the event dispatching used in `LoopbackPort`, however looking at the use-cases (or lack thereof) of the `LoopbackPort` it seemed reasonable to simply remove the `defer` parameter instead.
This patch is tagged "[api-minor]" since the `LoopbackPort` is still exposed in the API, although I really hope that no third-party is using this (since disabling workers leads to bad performance).
Finally, this patch changes a `forEach` loop to `for...of` and makes uses of optional changing in existing code.

[1] As evident by the `npm test` command run by Github Actions, and previously by Travis.
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.

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.
I happened to look at this code, and I can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't just implement it like this patch in the first place (since the current format feels overly verbose).
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
- use ascent of the fallback font instead of the one from pdf to position spans
- use TextMetrics.fontBoundingBoxAscent if available or
- use a basic heuristic to guess ascent in drawing char on a canvas
- compute ascent as a ratio of font height
