There have been lots of problems with trying to map glyphs to their unicode
values. It's more reliable to just use the private use areas so the browser's
font renderer doesn't mess with the glyphs.
Using the private use area for all glyphs did highlight other issues that this
patch also had to fix:
* small private use area - Previously, only the BMP private use area was used
which can't map many glyphs. Now, the (much bigger) PUP 16 area can also be
used.
* glyph zero not shown - Browsers will not use the glyph from a font if it is
glyph id = 0. This issue was less prevalent when we mapped to unicode values
since the fallback font would be used. However, when using the private use
area, the glyph would not be drawn at all. This is illustrated in one of the
current test cases (issue #8234) where there's an "ä" glyph at position
zero. The PDF looked like it rendered correctly, but it was actually not
using the glyph from the font. To properly show the first glyph it is always
duplicated and appended to the glyphs and the maps are adjusted.
* supplementary characters - The private use area PUP 16 is 4 bytes, so
String.fromCodePoint must be used where we previously used
String.fromCharCode. This is actually an issue that should have been fixed
regardless of this patch.
* charset - Freetype fails to load fonts when the charset size doesn't match
number of glyphs in the font. We now write out a fake charset with the
correct length. This also brought up the issue that glyphs with seac/endchar
should only ever write a standard charset, but we now write a custom one.
To get around this the seac analysis is permanently enabled so those glyphs
are instead always drawn as two glyphs.
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).
Not only is this method completely unused *now*, looking through the history of the code it never appears to have been used for anything either.
Years ago `mainXRefEntriesOffset` was included when creating `XRef` instances, however it wasn't actually used for anything (the parameter was never checked, nor assigned to a property on `XRef`).
If this method ever becomes useful (again) it's easy enough to restore it thanks to version control, but including dead code in the builds just seems wasteful.
One of the `QueueOptimizer` cases wasn't updated to use `Uint8ClampedArray`s, which leads to inconsistent image data on the API side (but no actual rendering bugs, as far as I can tell).
To prevent future errors, a non-production/test-only `assert` was added to ensure that the relevant image data only uses `Uint8ClampedArray`s.
This commit is the first step towards implementing parsing for the
appearance streams of annotations.

The font tests use Jasmine too, so while they are technically unit
tests, it's a bit confusing to see `Started unit tests` when the font
tests are run on the bots.
The current font type/subtype detection code is quite inconsistent/unwieldy. In some cases it will simply assume that the font dictionary is correct, in others it will somewhat "arbitrarily" check the actual font file (more of these cases have been added over the years to fix specific bugs).
As is evident from e.g. issue 9949, the font type/subtype detection code is continuing to cause issues. In an attempt to get rid of these hacks once and for all, this patch instead re-factors the type/subtype detection to *always* parse the font file.
Please note that, as far as I can tell, we still appear to need to rely on the composite font detection based on the font dictionary. However, even if the composite/non-composite detection would get it wrong, that shouldn't really matter too much given that there's basically only two different code-paths (for "TrueType-like" vs "Type1-like" fonts).
The font in the PDF is marked as a CIDFontType0, but the font file is
actually a true type font. To fully address this issue we should really
peek into the font file and try to determine what it is. However, this
is the first case of this issue, so I think this solution is acceptable for
now.
Fixes a stupid oversight on my part, since /Filter may (obviously) contain an Array, which resulted in unnecessary console warning spam in perfectly valid PDF files.
Note that it still makes sense to check that /Filter is actually a Name, before attempting to access its `name` property, but the warning should definitely be removed.
This should really have been included in PR 9868, since it will help ensure that the `URL` constructor is correctly imported/exported by `src/shared/util.js`.
