When I submitted PR 3576, I included a linked test-case. The reason was that I didn't know enough about the PDF format, in order to successfully create a reduced test-case.
Considering that the link points to a Dropbox, there's no guarantee that the PDF file will remain available, hence it seems worthwhile to replace the test-case.
*Note:* Since this is a `load` test, `makeref` won't be necessary.
The file (`lshort.pdf`) has changed a couple of times since the test was added, hence there's no guarantee that the current version accurately reflects the issues the test was added to check.
In this patch, I'm updating the link location to point to the *intended* file version (hosted on the "Internet Archive").
According to the PDF spec 5.3.2, a positive value means in horizontal,
that the next glyph is further to the left (so narrower), and in
vertical that it is further down (so wider).
This change fixes the way PDF.js has interpreted the value.
For (1, 0) cmaps, we have two different codepaths depending on whether the font has/hasn't got an encoding. But with (3, 1) cmaps we don't have a good fallback when the encoding is missing, hence this patch changes `readCmapTable` to only choose a (3, 1) cmap table if the font is non-symbolic *and* an encoding exists. Without this, we'll not be able to successfully create a working glyph map for some TrueType fonts with (3, 1) cmap tables.
Fixes 6410.

The problematic font has a `format 2` cmap, which we've never supported properly. Prior to PR 2606, we were able to fallback to a working state, despite not having proper support for that cmap format.
Obviously the best/correct solution would be to implement actual support for more cmap formats[1]. However, I'm hoping that a simple patch will be OK for now, given that:
- `format 2` cmaps seem to be quite rare in practice, since this has been broken for 2.5 years before anyone noticed.
- Having a simple patch will make potential uplifts a lot easier.

Re: PR 4731.
Since the URL points to the Internet Archive, I think that adding a linked test-case should be OK. (Also, it's difficult to create reduced, or even `unit`, tests that accurately captures the brokenness of real-world PDF files.)
*Please note:* Since this is a `load` test, `makeref`ing won't be needed.
This patch improves the detection of `xref` in files where it is followed by an arbitrary whitespace character (not just a line-breaking char).
It also adds a check for missing whitespace, e.g. `1 0 obj<<`, to speed up `readToken` for the PDF file in the referenced issue.
Finally, the patch also replaces a bunch of magic numbers with suitably named constants.
Fixes 5752.
Also improves 6243, but there are still issues.
The problem with the PDF files in the issue, besides the obviously broken XRef tables which we're able to recover from, is that many/most of the streams have Dictionaries where the `Length` entry is set to `0`. This causes us to return `NullStream`, instead of the appropriate one in `Parser_makeFilter`.
Fixes 6360.
Short story: somebody got lost in two different indices. pi is an index in the stream and is explained on page 198 of the 32000-spec (however 1-based there), and ps is an index to something in PDF.js. I used the code from flag 0 (which works) to understand which is which. It is also important to understand that for flags 1,2 and 3, the stream is always assigned to the same coordinates and colors. What changes is which "old" coordinates and colors are assigned to what is "missing" in the stream. This is why for these flags, the code is identical except for the assignments in the first "row".
