- In the pdf in issue #14071, some select fields don't contain any values;
- the corresponding node has a bindItems and a bind elements and _bindItems function was just not called.
- when some named nodes in the template don't have their counterpart in datasets we create some nodes: the main node mustn't belong to the datasets namespace because it doesn't make sense and Acrobat Reader isn't able to read pdf with such nodes.
- so created nodes under a datasets node have a namespaceId set to -1 and consequently when serialized no namespace prefix will appear.
- an Image element was created, attached to its parent but the $globalData property was not set and that led to an error.
- the pdf in bug 1722029 has 27 rendered rows (checked in Acrobat) when only one was displayed: this patch some binding issues around the occur element.
As can be seen in the code (see below), the `searchNode` helper function will return `null` in some cases and all of its call-sites should protect against that before attempting to access the returned data.
While only one of these changes were necessary to fix the breaking errors in issue 13756, in order to prevent future bugs I've added similar defensive code throughout this file.

- when binding (after parsing) we get a map between some template nodes and some data nodes;
- so set user data in input handlers in using data node uids in the annotation storage;
- to save the form, just put the value we have in the storage in the correct data nodes, serialize the xml as a string and then write the string at the end of the pdf using src/core/writer.js;
- fix few bugs around data bindings:
- the "Off" issue in Bug 1716980.
- I thought it was possible to rely on browser layout engine to handle layout stuff but it isn't possible
- mainly because when a contentArea overflows, we must continue to layout in the next contentArea
- when no more contentArea is available then we must go to the next page...
- we must handle breakBefore and breakAfter which allows to "break" the layout to go to the next container
- Sometimes some containers don't provide their dimensions so we must compute them in order to know where to put
them in their parents but to compute those dimensions we need to layout the container itself...
- See top of file layout.js for more explanations about layout.
- fix few bugs in other places I met during my work on layout.
