Ensure that blob: URLs will be revoked when pages are cleaned-up/destroyed

Natively supported JPEG images are sent as-is, using a `blob:` or possibly a `data` URL, to the main-thread for loading/decoding.
However there's currently no attempt at releasing these resources, which are held alive by `blob:` URLs, which seems unfortunately given that images can be arbitrarily large.

As mentioned in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/createObjectURL the lifetime of these URLs are tied to the document, hence they are not being removed when a page is cleaned-up/destroyed (e.g. when being removed from the `PDFPageViewBuffer` in the viewer).
This is easy to test with the help of `about:memory` (in Firefox), which clearly shows the number of `blob:` URLs becomming arbitrarily large *without* this patch. With this patch however the `blob:` URLs are immediately release upon clean-up as expected, and the memory consumption should thus be considerably reduced for long documents with (simple) JPEG images.
