This patch improves the detection of `xref` in files where it is followed by an arbitrary whitespace character (not just a line-breaking char).
It also adds a check for missing whitespace, e.g. `1 0 obj<<`, to speed up `readToken` for the PDF file in the referenced issue.
Finally, the patch also replaces a bunch of magic numbers with suitably named constants.
Fixes 5752.
Also improves 6243, but there are still issues.
