[api-minor] Replace the canvas package with @napi-rs/canvas

The `@napi-rs/canvas` package has fewer dependencies, which should *hopefully* make installing and using it easier for `pdfjs-dist` end-users. (Over the years we've seen, repeatedly, that `canvas` can be difficult to install successfully.)
Furthermore, this package includes more functionality (such as `Path2D`) which reduces the overall number of dependencies in the PDF.js project.

One point to note is that `@napi-rs/canvas` is a fair bit newer than `canvas`, and has a lot fewer users, however looking at the commit history it does seem to be actively maintained.

Note that I've successfully tested the [Node.js examples](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/tree/master/examples/node), in particular the `pdf2png` one, with this patch applied and things appear to work fine.
