*Note:* This is similar to PR 19525, which did the same thing for the OpenJPEG decoder.
The advantages of doing this are:
- The same JBig2 decoder is used regardless of WASM being supported or not, which means consistent rendering.
- The old `Jbig2Image` implementation has various bugs and missing features.
- Less code that needs to be maintained in the PDF.js project, since both the CCITT and the JBig2 decoder is replaced.
The disadvantage of doing this is:
- Slightly larger bundle size, however the effect is limited since a fair amount of PDF.js code can be removed. For the `gulp mozcentral` target the size increase is approximately 54 kilo-bytes (which is small compared to the 452 kilo-bytes for the JS version of the OpenJPEG decoder).
In Webpack version `5.99.0` the way that `export` statements are handled was changed slightly, with much less boilerplate code being generated, which unfortunately breaks our `tweakWebpackOutput` function that's used to expose the exported properties globally and that e.g. the viewer depends upon.
Given that we were depending on formatting that should most likely be viewed as nothing more than an internal implementation detail in Webpack, we instead work-around this by manually defining the structures that were previously generated.
Obviously this will lead to a tiny bit more manual work in the future, however we don't change the API-surface often enough that it should be a big issue *and* the relevant unit-tests are updated such that it shouldn't be possible to break this.
*NOTE:* In the future we might want to consider no longer using global properties like this, and instead rely only on proper `export`s throughout the code-base.
However changing this would likely be non-trivial (given edge-cases), and it'd be an `api-major` change, so let's just do the minimal amount of work to unblock Webpack updates for now.
Having just tested PR 17337 locally I noticed that especially the `JpxImage`-test causes a "ridiculous" amount of warning messages to be printed, which doesn't seem helpful.
Given that only actual `Error`s should be relevant here, we can easily disable this logging during the tests.
