These tests, and their [accompanying Wiki page](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Required-Browser-Features), haven't received any real updates for *many years* and are sufficiently out of date to be effectively useless now.
Providing *irrelevant* compatibility information seems overall worse than not providing any information, and as suggested in the issue it'd probably be better to use https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo for checking if a particular platform/browser is supported.
Thanks to version control, it's easy to restore these files should the need ever arise. However, re-introducing these tests would essentially require updating every single test-case *and* a commitment to keeping them up to date with future code changes.
By moving this code from the `BaseViewer` and into `PDFScriptingManager`, all of the scripting initialization/handling code is now limited to just one file/class which help overall readability (in my opinion). Also, this patch is a *net reduction* in number of lines of code which can never hurt.
As part of these changes, the intermediary "pageopen"/"pageclose" events are now removed in favor of using the "regular" viewer events directly in `PDFScriptingManager`. Hence this removes some (strictly unnecessary) indirection in the current code, when handling PageOpen/PageClose events, which leads to overall fewer function calls in this part of the code.
The *main* purpose of this patch is to allow scripting to be used together with the viewer components, note the updated "simpleviewer"/"singlepageviewer" examples, in addition to the full default viewer.
Given how the scripting functionality is currently implemented in the default viewer, trying to re-use this with the standalone viewer components would be *very* hard and ideally you'd want it to work out-of-the-box.
For an initial implementation, in the default viewer, of the scripting functionality it probably made sense to simply dump all of the code in the `app.js` file, however that cannot be used with the viewer components.
To address this, the functionality is moved into a new `PDFScriptingManager` class which can thus be handled in the same way as all other viewer components (and e.g. be passed to the `BaseViewer`-implementations).
Obviously the scripting functionality needs quite a lot of data, during its initialization, and for the default viewer we want to maintain the current way of doing the lookups since that helps avoid a number of redundant API-calls.
To that end, the `PDFScriptingManager` implementation accepts (optional) factories/functions such that we can maintain the current behaviour for the default viewer. For the viewer components specifically, fallback code-paths are provided to ensure that scripting will "just work"[1].
Besides moving the viewer handling of the scripting code to its own file/class, this patch also takes the opportunity to re-factor the functionality into a number of helper methods to improve overall readability[2].
Note that it's definitely possible that the `PDFScriptingManager` class could be improved even further (e.g. for general re-use), since it's still heavily tailored to the default viewer use-case, however I believe that this patch is still a good step forward overall.

[1] Obviously *all* the relevant document properties might not be available in the viewer components use-case (e.g. the various URLs), but most things should work just fine.
[2] The old `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript` method, where everything was simply inlined, have over time (in my opinion) become quite large and somewhat difficult to *easily* reason about.
These changes will be necessary for the next patch, since we don't want to accidentally pull in the entire default viewer in the standalone viewer components.
At this point in time the standalone `acroforms` example is no longer needed, since both the `simpleviewer` and `singlepageviewer` examples already support AcroForms by default.
Moreover, the `acroforms` example no longer illustrate best practices, given the direct usage of `PDFPageView` for a multipage document.
Given that scripting is now enabled in Firefox Nightly (but only there), it seems weird to not have scripting enabled by default in `gulp server` mode.
Rather than having to spell out the English fallback strings at *every* single `IL10n.get` call-site throughout the viewer, we can simplify things by collecting them in *one* central spot.
This provides a much better overview of the fallback l10n strings used, which makes future changes easier and ensures that fallback strings occuring in multiple places cannot accidentally get out of sync.
Furthermore, by making the `fallback` parameter of the `IL10n.get` method *optional*[1] many of the call-sites (and their surrounding code) become a lot less verbose.

[1] It's obviously still possible to pass in a fallback string, it's just not required.
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.
