Given that we're using modules, meaning that only explicitly `export`ed things are visible to the outside, it's no longer necessary to wrap all of the code in a closure.
This gets rid of *a lot* of boilerplate that stems from our old way of simulating classes, and it actually reduces the filesize noticeably.
For e.g. `gulp mozcentral`, the *built* `pdf.js` files decreases from `318 404` to `314 722` bytes (~1 percent) with this patch.
This is done automatically with `gulp lint --fix` and the following
manual changes:

Since we really don't want to let a particular Webpack-mode dictate how we can/can't write code, let's add a note in the webpack-example README about minification instead.
Using `for...of` is a modern and generally much nicer pattern, since it gets rid of unnecessary callback-functions. (In a couple of spots, a "regular" `for` loop had to be used.)
- In case of large string the sandbox initialization failed because of an OOM
* so allocate a new string in the heap
* and free it after use.
- it requires a quickjs update since we need to export some symbols (stringToNewUTF8 and free).
This patch first of all moves all checking/validation into the `appendIfJavaScriptDict` function, to avoid duplicating it in multiple places. Secondly, also removes what's now an outdated/incorrect comment since we have implemented scripting support.
Given that we're (almost) always iterating through the result of the `getAll`-calls, using a `Map` seems nicer overall since it's more suited to iteration compared to a regular Object.
Also, add a couple of `Dict`-checks in existing code touched by this patch, since it really cannot hurt to prevent *potential* errors in a corrupt PDF document.
First of all, while it should be very unlikely that the /ID-entry is an *indirect* object, note how we're using `Dict.get` when parsing it e.g. in `PDFDocument.fingerprint`. Hence we definitely should be consistent here, since if the /ID-entry is an *indirect* object the existing code in `src/core/writer.js` would already fail.
Secondly, to fix the referenced issue, we also need to check that the /ID-entry actually is an Array before attempting to access its contents in `src/core/writer.js`.
*Drive-by change:* In the `xrefInfo` object passed to the `incrementalUpdate` function, re-name the `encrypt` property to `encryptRef` since its data is fetched using `Dict.getRaw` (given the names of the other properties fetched similarly).
For CFF fonts without proper `ToUnicode`/`Encoding` data, utilize the "charset"/"Encoding"-data from the font file to improve text-selection (issue 13260)
Keeps screen readers from pausing on every span so
paragraphs are read more naturally. Note: this only seems
to affect Firefox, Chrome automatically combines the spans.
By replacing `XMLHttpRequest` with a `fetch` call, the helper function can be modernized to use async/await instead.
Note that the headers doesn't seem necessary to set now, since:
- The Fetch API provides a method for accessing the response as *text*, which renders the "Content-type" header unnecessary.
- According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Forbidden_header_name, the "Content-length" header isn't necessary.
By not waiting for the /Properties to load, before parsing of the operatorList/textContent starts, there's a very real risk that a `MissingDataException` will be thrown when trying to access the data in the `PartialEvaluator.parseMarkedContentProps` method.
If this ever happens it will thus lead to incomplete and/or outright broken rendering, and with e.g. `disableAutoFetch=true` set the likelihood of this occuring would increase quite a bit.
*Please note:* While I've not yet seen this error in an actual PDF document, it can happen during loading if you're unlucky enough with e.g. the structure of the PDF document and/or the download speed offered by the server.
