The idea is to encode large image in BMP format (which is very simple and doesn't
require to compute any checksums) and then use createImageBitmap with a BMP blob
(which doesn't suffer of the Canvas/ImageData limits).
From a performance point of view, it isn't crazy (generating a large blob + decoding
it on the main thread is really not ideal) but at least we've something to display
which is a way better than a blank page (and one can notice that most of the time is
spent in decoding the image from the pdf stream).
This was deprecated in PR 15943, which has now been included in two official PDF.js releases.
Given that `PDFDataRangeTransport` is somewhat unlikely to be used outside of the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer, it doesn't seem necessary to wait longer before removing this.
Also, removes the specific error-message for GENERIC builds to not unnecessarily "advertise" using non-objects when calling the `getDocument`-function.

We introduced the use of OffscreenCanvas in #14754 and this patch aims
to use them for all kind of images.
It'll slightly improve performances (and maybe slightly decrease memory use).
Since an image can be rendered in using some transfer maps but because of
OffscreenCanvas we don't have the underlying pixels array the transfer maps
stuff is re-implemented in using the SVG filter feComponentTransfer.
Rather than repeatedly initializing a `canvasFactory`-instance for every page, move it to the document-level instead.

Currently we repeat the `FeatureTest.isOffscreenCanvasSupported` checks all over the worker-thread code, and with upcoming changes this will become even "worse".
Hence this patch, which changes the *worker-thread* default value for the `isOffscreenCanvasSupported`-parameter to `false` and moves the feature-testing into the `BasePdfManager`-constructor.
*Please note:* This patch is written using the GitHub UI, since I'm currently without a dev machine, so hopefully it works correctly.
Currently some `getCtx` calls will have `isOffscreenCanvasSupported === undefined` set, meaning that `OffscreenCanvas` isn't being used as intended, since no `TextLayerRenderTask._isOffscreenCanvasSupported` property exists.

I noticed several 'Path not found' errors because of a field called #subform[2].
From the XFA specs, the hash is used for a class of elements in the template tree.
When we're looking for a node in the datasets tree, it doesn't make sense to search
for a class. Hence the path element starting with a hash are just skipped.
In order to help to identify a link, we add a border around it with the LinkText color.
And backdrop colors are inverted when the mouse pointer hovers them, this way it should
help to identify the link where the pointer is.
With upcoming changes we'll potentially start to cache `ImageBitmap` data at the document-level, in addition to just at the page-level.
Hence we need to ensure that such data is actually released on clean-up, and rather than duplicating the existing *manual* handling this code is instead moved into the `PDFObjects.clear` method. (In my opinion, this is an overall improvement even without globally cached `ImageBitmap` data.)
*Please note:* This patch is written using the GitHub UI, since I'm currently without a dev machine, so hopefully it's correct and makes sense.
The `Buffer`-object is Node.js specific functionality[1], thus (obviously) not found in browsers. Please note that the PDF.js library has never officially supported/documented that binary data can be passed as a `Buffer`, and that *internally* in the `src/core`-code we only work with standard `Uint8Array`s.
This means that if, in Node.js environments, a `Buffer` is passed to the API we need to wrap it into a `Uint8Array`, which essentially means creating a copy of the data and thus increasing memory usage.

- Pass the `URL`-object directly to `getDocument`, since that's been supported since PR 13166.
- Remove support for the `disableRange`-option in the test-manifest, since it's completely unused. Please note that it's originally added in PR 2719, however there's never actually been any reference tests using it (not even from the start).
Given that the option is `false` by default everywhere (e.g. in the Firefox PDF Viewer) and that we have unit-tests for `disableRange = true`, it doesn't seem necessary to add new reference tests for it now.
Currently we duplicate the same code more than once in the `test/driver.js` file, which we can avoid by adding a new `AnnotationStorage` helper method instead.
Given that this helper function is only used on the worker-thread, there's no reason to duplicate it in both of the *built* `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files.
Currently these classes take a bunch of parameters (somewhat randomly ordered), probably because this is very old code that's been extended over the years.
Hence this patch changes the constructors to use parameter-objects instead, which improves consistency and (slightly) reduces the amount of code as well.
*Please note:* Also removes the `msgHandler`-property on these classes, since I cannot find a single call-site that accesses it.
