After the two previous commits, which removed the remaining call-sites, this method is no longer used and can thus be removed.
As mentioned in the JSDocs for the now removed method, synchronous communication between the viewer and the platform code isn't really a good idea.
Once this patch has landed in mozilla-central some additional clean-up of the platform code will also be possible.
The return value is not, nor has it ever been, used for anything and we should thus be able to just send the message.
Note that the responses are already handled by the "message" event listener registered above.
This commit fixes the JSDoc comment for the `annotationEditorMode` setter.
The types tests fail on that now because the input value was changed from
a number to an object with various properties in recent patches, but the
JSDoc comment was not updated accordingly.
Moreover, the types tests also fail because TypeScript 5.3 assumes that
getters and setters have equal return and input value types, which is
arguably also what one would expect, but our `annotationEditorMode`
getter and setter deviate from that because the getter returns a number
while the setter accepts an object. Given that it seems more important
to document the setter entirely, including the meaning and types of its
properties, and the type of the getter can easily be inferred from this
comment and the other JSDoc comments that have `annotationEditorMode` in
it, we remove the getter type to make the types tests pass again.
- Extend the `fetchData` helper function to also support fetching of "blob" data.
- Use the `fetchData` helper function more in the code-base, when fetching non-PDF data. Given that the Fetch API isn't supported for all protocols, this should improve compatibility for the PDF.js library.
Currently the SVG images for the loading-icons exist in two versions, for the light- respectively dark-theme, which nowadays are the only "duplicated" icons left.
The reason for this is that these icons are being used in `input`-elements, where the regular `mask-image` approach used for all buttons don't work.
To address this we add containers for the `input`-elements, such that we have a "regular" DOM-element where we can use `mask-image`.
The goal is to be able to get these outlines to fill the shape corresponding
to a text selection in order to highlight some text contents.
The outlines will be used either to show selected/hovered highlights.
- Re-factor the existing `fetchData` helper function such that it can fetch more types of data, and it now supports "arraybuffer", "json", and "text".
This only needed minor adjustments in the `DOMCMapReaderFactory` and `DOMStandardFontDataFactory` classes.[1]
- Expose the `fetchData` helper function in the API, such that the viewer is able to access it.
- Use the `fetchData` helper function in the `GenericL10n` class, since this should allow fetching of localization-data even if the default viewer is run in an environment without support for the Fetch API.

[1] While testing this I also noticed a minor inconsistency when handling standard font-data on the worker-thread.
