Given that Internet Explorer is, since some time now, no longer supported in the PDF.js library this `<meta>` tag can also be removed (added in PR 6374).
*Please note:* This patch doesn't fix rendering of (various) patterns in browsers/environments without full `CanvasPattern.setTransform()` support, but it at least prevents outright failures and thus allows the rest of the page to render.
This patch provides a temporary work-around for Firefox 78 ESR[1], and for Node.js environments (see issue 13724), where rendering is currently completely broken.

[1] Please note that the `createMatrix` helper function doesn't actually work as intended. The reason is that it's not `DOMMatrix` itself which is unsupported in older Firefox versions, but rather calling `CanvasPattern.setTransform(...)` with a `DOMMatrix`-argument.
Furthermore, the `createSVGMatrix` fallback won't actually help either since that method doesn't accept any parameters and would thus require *manually* specifying the matrix-state; see e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasPattern/setTransform#examples
Finally, given that it's less than a month to the [Firefox 91 ESR release](https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar) and that as-is all patterns are completely broken e.g. when using the latest viewer in Firefox 78 ESR, I'm just not convinced that it's worth the "hassle" of providing a more proper work-around.
This way we ensure that these BBox values are *always* defined as expected for every `case`-block, and we also don't need to duplicate the lookup in multiple places. (Also, the patch removes a couple of unnecessary line-breaks in existing comments.)
Fixes https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/13691#pullrequestreview-702356627, which was flagged by LGTM.
- font line height is taken into account by acrobat when it isn't with masterpdfeditor: I extracted a font from a pdf, modified some ascent/descent properties thanks to ttx and the reinjected the font in the pdf: only Acrobat is taken it into account. So in this patch, line heights for some substituted fonts are added.
- it seems that Acrobat is using a line height of 1.2 when the line height in the font is not enough (it's the only way I found to fix correctly bug 1718741).
- don't use flex in wrapper container (which was causing an horizontal overflow in the above bug).
- consequently, the above fixes introduced a lot of small regressions, so in order to see real improvements on reftests, I fixed the regressions in this patch:
- replace margin by padding in some case where padding is a part of a container dimensions;
- remove some flex display: some containers are wrongly sized when rendered;
- set letter-spacing to 0.01px: it helps to be sure that text is not broken because of not enough width in Firefox.
While I don't know if it's technically correct to even do this, it could provide a slightly better out-of-the-box behaviour in browsers that specify (from the PDF.js `l10n`-folder perspective) "incomplete" language codes.
Rather than immediately falling back to English, we'll use a white-list to try and re-write a "partial" language code to a (hopefully) suitable one that matches an existing `l10n`-folder. The disadvantage of this solution is that the list needs to be kept *manually* up-to-date with any changes in the `l10n`-folder, however new locales are added infrequently enough that this should be acceptable.
Fixes 13689 (assuming we actually want/care to do so, otherwise we should just WONTFIX the issue).
With the changes in PR 13687 we're now checking if `target` is defined *twice* in a row, which shouldn't be necessary :-)
(I noticed this when glancing at the unofficial LGTM results; maybe we should re-evalute the decision to not integrate that into the CI.)
