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".
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.
