With the removal of the (standalone) Firefox building code in PR 9566 (a year and a half ago), these files are now completely unused in the GitHub repository[1].
Hence it doesn't really seem necessary to keep fetching them with `gulp importl10n`, and the existing files in the `l10n` folder can also be removed (thanks to version control, they're easy enough to restore should the need ever arise).
The patch also allows an additional simplification, for the `gulp locale` and `gulp mozcentral` commands, since it's now possible to stop writing `l10n` files to the `extensions/firefox/` folder and instead just copy them similar to other build targets.
---
[1] They're obviously still used in `mozilla-central`, for fallback messages displayed through `PdfStreamConverter.jsm`, but that doesn't make it necessary to keep them *here* as far as I'm concerned.
Rather than having the script remove locales automatically, which seems like a heavy-handed approach at least initially, listing these for manual checking seems nice though.
Rather than having to manually maintain a static list of language codes, it's much easier to simply fetch the active ones from `mozilla-central` instead.
As part of this the code in `external/importL10n/locales.js` was modernized slightly, by using Promises/async functions to get rid of a bunch of annoying callbacks (which shouldn't be a problem for reasonably modern Node.js versions).
Compared to the recently replaced `URL` polyfill, the new `ReadableStream` polyfill isn't being exported globally for two reasons:
- We're currently checking for the existence of a global `ReadableStream` implementation when determining if the Fetch API will be used; please see `isFetchSupported` in the src/display/display_utils.js file.
- Given that it's much newer functionality (compared to `URL`) and that not all browsers may implement all parts of the specification yet, not exposing the `ReadableStream` globally seems safer for now.
Currently this leads to confusing behaviour with `eventBusDispatchToDOM = true` set, since then there's *two* different "localized" events being fired.
In many cases in the code you don't actually care about the index itself, but rather just want to know if something exists in a String/Array or if a String starts in a particular way. With modern JavaScript functionality, it's thus possible to remove a number of existing `indexOf` cases.
For proof-of-concept, this patch converts a couple of `Promise` returning methods to use `async` instead.
Please note that the `generic` build, based on this patch, has been successfully testing in IE11 (i.e. the viewer loads and nothing is obviously broken).
Being able to use modern JavaScript features like `async`/`await` is a huge plus, but there's one (obvious) side-effect: The size of the built files will increase slightly (unless `SKIP_BABEL == true`). That's unavoidable, but seems like a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.
Finally, note that the `chromium` build target was changed to no longer skip Babel translation, since the Chrome extension still supports version `49` of the browser (where native `async` support isn't available).
Without providing useful (custom) error messages for the `no-restricted-globals` rule, see https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals, it's quite likely that the rule will be incorrectly disabled rather than the required globals being imported as intended.
To reduced duplication of the `no-restricted-globals` rule in multiple `.eslintrc` files, it's instead moved to the top-level `.eslintrc` file and disabled as needed on a folder/file basis outside of `/src` and `/web`.
It gives warnings when running `gulp locale`, in a previous patch it was
explicitly asked to remove it and there is quite a bit of discussion
about the validity of the locale at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418485. In short, let's
remove it to prevent these issues.
This moves/exposes the `URL` polyfill similarily to the existing `ReadableStream` polyfill, rather than exposing it globally, to avoid interfering with any "outside" code.
Both the `URL` and `ReadableStream` polyfills are now exposed on the `pdfjsLib` object, such that they are accessible to the viewer components.
Furthermore, the `no-restricted-globals` ESLint rule is also enabled to prevent accidental usage of the native `URL`/`ReadableStream` implementations directly in the `src/` and `web/` folders; see also https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals
Addresses the remaining TODO in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/projects/6
This required changing the import script in two ways:
- we should use the `default` branch and not the `tip` tag since the
latter may refer to another branch than `default` (this is the case for
the `vi` locale, which caused in the files to be overwritten with
incorrect contents since `tip` referred to the
`THUNDERBIRD600b1_2018031614_RELBRANCH` branch);
- we should check if the response code is indeed 200 because recently a
script removed all empty localization files upstream (refer to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443175).
This rule is available from https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-mozilla, and is enforced in mozilla-central. Note that we have the necessary `Array`/`String` polyfills and that most cases have already been fixed, see PRs 9032 and 9434.
Despite this patch removing the `disableWorker` option itself, please note that we'll still fallback to loading the worker file(s) on the main-thread when running in environments without proper Web Worker support.
Furthermore it's still possible, even with this patch, to force the use of fake workers by manually loading the necessary file using a `<script>` tag on the main-thread.[1]
That way, the functionality of the now removed `SINGLE_FILE` build target and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file can still be achieved simply by adding e.g. `<script src="build/pdf.worker.js"></script>` to the HTML (obviously with the path adjusted as needed).
Finally note that the `disableWorker` option is a performance footgun, and unfortunately many existing third-party examples actually use it without providing any sort of warning/justification.

[1] This approach is used in the default viewer, since certain kind of debugging may be easier if the code is running directly on the main-thread.
`__pdfjsdev_webpack__` was used to skip evaluating part of an AST,
in order to not mangle some `require` symbols.
This commit removes `__pdfjsdev_webpack__`, and:
- Uses `__non_webpack_require__` when one wants the output to
contain `require` instead of `__webpack_require__`.
- Adds options to the webpack config to prevent "polyfills" for
some Node.js-specific APIs to be added.
- Use `// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef` instead of `/* globals ... */`
for variables that are not meant to be used globally.
Adds functionality to accept Queueing Strategy in
sendWithStream method. Using Queueing Strategy we
can control the data that is enqueued into the sink,
and hence regulated the flow of chunks from worker
to main thread.
Adds capability in pull and cancel methods.
Adds ready and desiredSize property in streamSink.
Adds unit test for ReadableStream and sendWithStream.

Also updates a `console.log` statement in the `gulp importl10n` command (since I forgot it in a previous patch, and it didn't seem necessary with a separate patch for it).
Added test for ReadableStream.
Adds ref-implementation license-header in streams-lib

Adds README.md and LICENSE.md

Unfortunately, based on commit 9276d1dcd9, it seems that we still need to maintain compatibility with old Node.js versions, hence certain files/directories that are executed in Node.js are currently exempt from this rule.
Furthermore, since the files specific to the Chromium extension are not run through Babel, the `/extensions/chromium/` directory is also exempt from this rule.
This patch is another step towards enabling Babel. Since we're moving
towards ES6 modules, we will not be using UMD headers anymore, so we can
remove the validation.
