Converting errors to string drops their stack trace, making it more
difficult to debug their actual reason. We can instead pass the error
objects as-is to console.warn/error, so that Firefox/Chrome devtools
will show both the stack trace of the console.warn/error call, and the
original stack trace of the error.
This commit also enables the `unicorn/no-console-spaces` ESLint rule,
which avoids accidental extra spaces when passing multiple parameters to
`console.*` methods.
JSON imports are now supported by all tools used in PDF.js' build
process. The `chromecom.js` file is bundled by webpack and
import attributes are thus removed, so browser compatibility for this
new syntax is not relevant.
- Ensure that `pdfjsTestingUtils` is available when running benchmarking, since that shouldn't be done in TESTING-mode.
- Exclude the `test/stats/results/` folder from linting, since it'll contain *generated* JSON-files.
The purpose of these changes is to make it more difficult to accidentally include logging statements, used during development and debugging, when submitting patches for review.
For (almost) all code residing in the `src/` folder we should use our existing helper functions to ensure that all logging can be controlled via the `verbosity` API-option.
For the `test/unit/` respectively `test/integration/` folders we shouldn't need any "normal" logging, but it should be OK to print the *occasional* warning/error message.

Flat config is the new config system used by ESLint 9.
To make the migration easier, they also added
flat config support to ESLint 8.
This commit migrates the various ESLint configs in the repository to use
the new system, **without** upgrading to ESLint 9 yet.
