*Please note:* The PDF document in issue 13751 is *dynamically* created (in e.g. Adobe Reader), with pages added when certain buttons are clicked, hence this patch simply fixes the breaking error and nothing more.
It looks like the current code contains a little bit too much copy-and-paste from the *similar* `index` branch above, since we cannot set the `startIndex` to a negative value. Note how it's being used to initialize the loop-variable, which is then used to lookup values in an Array and accessing the `-1`th element of an Array obviously makes no sense.
*This is yet another case where I've got no idea if the patch is correct, but it does at least fix a breaking error :-)*
Note how in the [`Binder._bindValue` method](683ce66a48/src/core/xfa/bind.js (L92-L93)), we're assuming that if a `data`-value exists then it'll also be possible to actually access it. For the `XFAAttribute`-implementation however, the second method is missing and that's what causes the breaking errors in issue 13748.
Please note that another possible way of "fixing" the error wouldn't been to simply change the exists-check to return `false`, and I could see that being a preferred solution.
However, the reason for submitting the current patch is that we get *fewer* warnings about Nodes with mis-matched types this way.
As can be seen in the code (see below), the `searchNode` helper function will return `null` in some cases and all of its call-sites should protect against that before attempting to access the returned data.
While only one of these changes were necessary to fix the breaking errors in issue 13756, in order to prevent future bugs I've added similar defensive code throughout this file.

For e.g. `gulp mozcentral`, the *built* `pdf.worker.js` file decreases from `1 837 608` to `1 834 907` bytes with this patch-series.
The improvement comes first of all from less overall indentation in `PDFFunction`, and secondly from the removal of (now) unnecessary indirection in the code.
*This follows the exact same princial as PR 12083, but for the `PDFFunction` parsing instead.*
Given that the IR format is completely unused now, all that the current code does is add a bunch of unnecessary indirection/overhead to the handling of PDF-functions.
With this patch, the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` method will now return `PDFOperatorList`-instances that also include Annotation-operatorLists (when those exist). Hence this closes a small, but potentially confusing, gap between the `render` and `getOperatorList` methods.
Previously we've been somewhat reluctant to do this, as explained below, but given that there's actual use-cases where it's required probably means that we'll *have* to implement it now.
Since we still need the ability to separate "normal" rendering operations from direct `getOperatorList` calls in the worker-thread, this API-change unfortunately causes the *internal* renderingIntent to become a bit "messy" which is indeed unfortunate (note the `"oplist-"` strings in various spots). As-is I suppose that it's not all that bad, but we may want to consider changing the *internal* renderingIntent to e.g. a bitfield in the future.
Besides fixing issue 13704, this patch would also be necessary if someone ever tries to implement e.g. issue 10165 (since currently `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` doesn't include Annotation-operatorLists).
*Please note:* This patch is *also* tagged "api-minor" for a second reason, which is that we're now including the Annotation-id in the `beginAnnotation` argument. The reason for this is to allow correlating the Annotation-data returned by `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations`, with its corresponding operatorList-data (for those Annotations that have it).
Given that Internet Explorer is, since some time now, no longer supported in the PDF.js library this `<meta>` tag can also be removed (added in PR 6374).
When working on PR 13612, I mostly prioritized a simple solution that didn't require touching a lot of code. However, while working on PR 13735 I started to realize that the static `Name.empty` construction really wasn't a good idea.
In particular, having a special `Name`-instance where the `name`-property isn't actually a String is confusing (to put it mildly) and can easily lead to issues elsewhere. The only reason for not simply allowing the `name`-property to be an *empty* string, in PR 13612, was to avoid having to touch a lot of existing code. However, it turns out that this is only limited to a few methods in the `PartialEvaluator` and a few of the `BaseLocalCache`-implementations, all of which can be easily re-factored to handle *empty* `Name`-instances.
All-in-all, I think that this patch is even an *overall* improvement since we're now validating (what should always be) `Name`-data better in the `PartialEvaluator`.
This is what I ought to have done from the start, sorry about the code churn here!
Currently it's possible to run e.g. `gulp unittest`, `gulp fonttest`, and `gulp integrationtest` *separately* on the bots; see https://github.com/mozilla/botio-files-pdfjs
However, it's not possible to run *only* the `gulp browsertest` command on the bots without also running the full test-suite. In some cases, e.g. if the "browsertest" times out, having a way to only re-run those would thus save some time and resources.
If/when this patch lands, I'll follow-up with a patch adding a new `on_cmd_browsertest.js` file to the https://github.com/mozilla/botio-files-pdfjs repository.
*Please note:* This patch doesn't fix rendering of (various) patterns in browsers/environments without full `CanvasPattern.setTransform()` support, but it at least prevents outright failures and thus allows the rest of the page to render.
This patch provides a temporary work-around for Firefox 78 ESR[1], and for Node.js environments (see issue 13724), where rendering is currently completely broken.

[1] Please note that the `createMatrix` helper function doesn't actually work as intended. The reason is that it's not `DOMMatrix` itself which is unsupported in older Firefox versions, but rather calling `CanvasPattern.setTransform(...)` with a `DOMMatrix`-argument.
Furthermore, the `createSVGMatrix` fallback won't actually help either since that method doesn't accept any parameters and would thus require *manually* specifying the matrix-state; see e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasPattern/setTransform#examples
Finally, given that it's less than a month to the [Firefox 91 ESR release](https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar) and that as-is all patterns are completely broken e.g. when using the latest viewer in Firefox 78 ESR, I'm just not convinced that it's worth the "hassle" of providing a more proper work-around.
