00f8fab8a5 Add support for modern ECMAScript class features
With ESLint 8 we should now finally be able to start using modern `class` features, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/Public_class_fields and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/Private_class_fields

However, while both ESLint and Acorn now support this, it unfortunately turns out that Escodegen (which we use during building) still lack the necessary support. Looking at https://github.com/estools/escodegen there's not been any updates since last year, and there's also open PRs adding support for these new `class` features.

To avoid blocking usage of these `class` features in the PDF.js code-base, in particular *private* fields/methods, this patch thus proposes that we (hopefully temporarily) switch to an `escodegen` fork that has the necessary support; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/@javascript-obfuscator/escodegen

While I have no reason to doubt the security of the `escodegen` fork, this patch nonetheless pins the version number. Furthermore, I've also diffed the output of the two `.js`-files in this forked package against the original files without finding anything that looks immediately "dangerous".

5520737798 Update the main, and pdfjs-dist, README to also include recent ECMAScript features
This adds "optional chaining" and "nullish coalescing" to the list of features needed when using the *modern*, i.e. non-translated/non-polyfilled, build of the PDF.js library.

449c7763d5 [api-minor] Only support browsers/environments that have *basic* support for Promise natively
Based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise#Browser_compatibility and https://caniuse.com/#feat=promises, all even remotely modern browsers already support *basic* `Promise` functionality natively.

The only reason for keeping the `Promise` polyfill (at all) is to be able to support recent additions to the specification, such as e.g. `finally` and `allSettled`.
Note that this patch will, on its own, remove support for IE 11/Edge (non-Chromium based) in both the general PDF.js library and the default viewer.
