It seems that the status check, for non-HTTP loads, causes the default viewer to *refuse* to open local PDF files.
***STR:***
1. Make sure that fetch support is enabled in the browser. In Firefox Nightly, set `dom.streams.enabled = true` and `javascript.options.streams = true` in `about:config`.
2. Open https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html.
3. Click on the "Open file" button, and open a new PDF file.
***ER:***
A new PDF file should open in the viewer.
***AR:***
The PDF file fails to open, with an error message of the following format:
`Message: Unexpected server response (200) while retrieving PDF "blob:https://mozilla.github.io/a4fc455f-bc05-45b5-b6aa-2ecff3cb45ce".`
When looking briefly at using `Number.isInteger`/`Number.isNan` rather than `isInt`/`isNaN`, I noticed that there's a couple of not entirely straightforward cases to consider.
At first I really couldn't understand why `parseInt` is being used like it is in `XRef.fetchUncompressed`, since the `num` and `gen` properties of an object reference should *always* be integers.
However, doing a bit of code archaeology pointed to PR 4348, and it thus seem that this was a very deliberate change. Since I didn't want to inadvertently introduce any regressions, I've kept the `parseInt` calls intact but moved them to occur *only* when actually necessary.[1]
Secondly, I noticed that there's a redundant `isCmd` check for an edge-case of broken operators. Since we're throwing a `FormatError` if `obj3` isn't a command, we don't need to repeat that check.
In practice, this patch could perhaps be considered as a micro-optimization, but considering that `XRef.fetchUncompressed` can be called *many* thousand times when loading larger PDF documents these changes at least cannot hurt.

[1] I even ran all tests locally, with an added `assert(Number.isInteger(obj1) && Number.isInteger(obj2));` check, and everything passed with flying colours.
However, since it appears that this was in fact necessary at one point, one possible explanation is that the failing test-case(s) have now been replaced by reduced ones.
By using the (heuristic) `POSITION_UPDATED_THRESHOLD` constant, we can ensure that the current document position will be added to the browser history when a sufficiently "large" number of `updateviewarea` events have been dispatched.
This patch attempts to address an issue in the old `PDFHistory` implementation, where the current position wouldn't be correctly saved when the browser was closed.
In theory this *should* already be working, however as the discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153393 showed, it seems that both `pagehide` and `beforeunload` arrive to late to successfully update the history during closing.
Hence a timeout is used to *temporarily* add the current position to the browser history when the viewer is idle.
Note that we need to take care not to update the browser history too often, since that would render the viewer more or unusable. Furthermore, if the timeout is *too* long it may end up effectively disable this whole functionality.
The `UPDATE_VIEWAREA_TIMEOUT` constant is thus a heuristic value, which we may need to tweak taking the above into account.
This patch completely re-implements `PDFHistory` to get rid of various bugs currently present, and to hopefully make maintenance slightly easier. Most of the interface is similar to the existing one, but it should be somewhat simplified.
The new implementation should be more robust against failure, compared to the old one. Previously, it was too easy to end up in a state which basically caused the browser history to lock-up, preventing the user from navigating back/forward. (In the new implementation, the browser history should not be updated rather than breaking if things go wrong.)
Given that the code has to deal with various edge-cases, it's still not as simple as I would have liked, but it should now be somewhat easier to deal with.
The main source of complication in the code is actually that we allow the user to change the hash of a already loaded document (we'll no longer try to navigate back-and-forth in this case, since the next commit contains a workaround).
In the new code, there's also *a lot* more comments (perhaps too many?) to attempt to explain the logic. This is something that the old implementation was serverly lacking, which is a one of the reasons why it was so difficult to maintain.
One particular thing to note is that the new code uses the `pagehide` event rather than `beforeunload`, since the latter seems to be a bad idea based on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336763.
The current implementation of `PDFHistory` contains a number of smaller bugs, which are *very* difficult to address without breaking other parts of its code.
Possibly the main issue with the current implementation, is that I wrote it quite some time ago, and at the time my understanding of the various edge-cases the code has to deal with was quite limited.
Currently `PDFHistory` may, despite most of those cases being fixed, in certain edge-cases lock-up the browser history, essentially preventing the user from navigating back/forward.
Hence rather than trying to iterate on `PDFHistory` to make it better, the only viable approach is unfortunately rip it out in its entirety and re-write it from scratch.
*It appears that this accidentally broke with PR 8394.*
Currently, the following will be printed in the console:
```
An error occurred while loading the PDF.
[object Promise],[object Promise]
```
With this patch we'll again get proper output, e.g. something with this format:
```
An error occurred while loading the PDF.
PDF.js v? (build: ?)
Message: unknown encryption method
```
By updating to uglify-es, rather than uglify-js, the minifier *itself* now supports ES6 code. This means that it's now possible to minify code built with `PDFJS_NEXT = true` set, i.e. with Babel transpilation disabled, which wasn't the case previously.
Note that uglify-es is based on the API of uglify-js v3, which differs from the one that we previously used.
Of particular importance is the fact that it's no longer possible to provide a path to a file for minification, but one must instead directly provide the source of the file.

Since this patch will now treat (some) `NUL` bytes as "ASCII", the number of `followingBytes` checked are thus increased to (hopefully) reduce the risk of introducing new false positives.
Fixes 8823.
According to the specification, see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#page=377, a `Dest` entry in an outline item should *not* contain a dictionary.
Unsurprisingly there's PDF generators that completely ignore this, treating is an `A` entry instead.
The patch also adds a little bit more validation code in `Catalog.parseDestDictionary`.
See https://eslint.org/docs/rules/for-direction; helps avoid typos that would cause infinite `for` loops.
Also, updates `eslint` and `eslint-plugin-mozilla` to the latest available versions.
