When XFA support was added, the size of the *built* `pdf.worker.js` file increased quite a bit. Hence I think that it makes sense to, where easily possible, do what we can to (slightly) reduce the size of the PDF.js library.
The supplemental font data files (added for XFA rendering), containing rescale-factors respectively widths, seem like an excellent candidate here since they're not particularly large in either line-count or file sizes.
In this patch these files are instead merged into a *single* file per font, rather than four different ones, and even with these changes the resulting source files don't become all that large.[1]
For e.g. the `gulp mozcentral` build, this reduces the size of the *built* `pdf.worker.js` file by more than `3 kB`. Given the overall simplicity of the patch, that kind of size decrease definitely seem worthwhile to me.

Previously, when we filled image masks we didn't copy over the current transformation,
this caused patterns to be misaligned when painted. Now we create a temporary
canvas with the mask and have the transform copied over and offset it relative to
where the mask would be painted. We also weren't properly offsetting tiling patterns.
This isn't usually noticeable since patters repeat, but in the case of #13561 the pattern
is only drawn once and has to be in the correct position to line up with the mask image.
These fixes broke #11473, but highlighted that we were drawing that correctly by
accident and not correctly handling negative bounding boxes on tiling patterns.
Fixes#6297, #13561, #13441
Partially fixes#1344 (still blurry but boxes are in correct position now)
- Fix a typo in order to open the pdf in issue #13679
- After fixing the fill default color there wer some regressions because of z-index
and when fixing z-index there were some regressions because of borders
- So fix the borders rendering.
The PDF.js API has only ever supported accessing the original file ID, however the second one that (should) exist in *modified* documents have thus far been completely inaccessible through the API.
That seems like a simple oversight, caused e.g. by the viewer not needing it, since it really shouldn't hurt to provide API-users with the ability to check if a PDF document has been modified since its creation.[1]
Please refer to https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G13.2261661 for additional information.
For an example of how to update existing code to use the new API, please see the changes in the `web/app.js` file included in this patch.
*Please note:* While I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to remove the old `PDFDocumentProxy.fingerprint` getter, given that it's existed since "forever", that probably isn't a big deal given that it's now limited to only `GENERIC`-builds.

Please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm
Based on that information, and manually testing our code, the implementation in `cloneValue` has the following shortcomings:
- Attempting to clone `function`s is only prevented when they're part of an Object, but is currently allowed when they occur standalone.
- Cloning of `Symbol`s is currently not prevented, which it should be since the native structured clone algorithm throws.
- Any disallowed types should be checked first, to reduce the risk of future changes accidentally allowing something that shouldn't be supported.
Using `instanceof Object` is generally problematic, since it's not guaranteed to always do the right thing for all Objects.
(I stumbled upon this while working on another patch, when I noticed that the `outlineView` was broken with workers disabled.)
- support paragraph margins, line height, letter spacing, ...
- compute missing dimensions from fields based almost on the dimensions of caption contents.
- it aims to fix#13583;
- fix the switch to breakBefore target;
- force the layout of an unsplittable element on an empty page;
- don't fail when there is horizontal overflow (except in lr-tb);
- handle correctly overflow in the same content area (bug 1717805, bug 1717668);
- fix a typo in radial gradient first argument.
- some pdf use some fonts which are not embedded or they don't have any width array or don't have any css info (e.g. for standard fonts or Arial).
- so add widths arrays for Liberation fonts in order to compute the ones for other fonts in using scale factors array.
- the break element has been deprecated in XFA 2.4 but some old documents can use it, so replace it with one (or more) of its possible substitutions:
- breakBefore;
- breakAfter;
- overflow.
- 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.
According to a comment in `readCmapTable`, we're assuming that the cmap tables (when more than one exist) are sorted in ascending order. If that's not the case, keep checking the following cmap tables in order to fix the referenced issue.
