Given that this patch causes a lot of churn in the addon code, I wouldn't really mind if we ultimately decide against doing this and just add a rule exception in mozilla-central instead.[1]

PR 7322 added the `PdfJsNetwork.jsm` file, instead of the general `src/core/network.js` file for the Firefox addon. However, `make.js` wasn't updated to actually stop including the now obsolete network file.
*Please note: ignoring whitespace changes is most likely necessary for the diff to be readable.*
This patch addresses all the current, in `mozilla-central`, linting failures in the addon. It should thus be possible to change the `.eslintignore` entry for PDF.js in `mozilla-central` from `browser/extensions/pdfjs/**` to `browser/extensions/pdfjs/build/**` and `browser/extensions/pdfjs/web/**` instead.
Note that we cannot, for backwards compatibility reason of the general PDF.js library, at this time make similar changes for files residing in the `build` and `web` directories in `mozilla-central`.
The main changes in this patch are that we now use [classes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes) instead of our previous "class-like" functions, and also use the more compact [object shorthand notation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer#New_notations_in_ECMAScript_2015).
A couple of functions were also converted to [arrow functions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/Arrow_functions), to reduced usages of `bind(this)` and `var self = this`.
One caveat with ES6 classes is that it's not (yet) possible to define private constants/helper functions within them, which is why the `NetworkManagerClosure` was kept to not change the visibility of those constant/functions.
Besides testing in Firefox Nightly 53, this patch has also been tested in Firefox ESR 45 and SeaMonkey 2.46.
However, I'd gladly welcome help with testing the patch more, to ensure that nothing has gone wrong during the refactoring.
Fixes the first bullet point of issue 7957.
