Description
What do you think to also support `type: modules` workers by introducing a [workaround](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/e78575e5933f494dc87edf27cbff7a4c2391236a/src/display/api.js#L1985-L1994) like in `pdf.js`?
```js
const workerUrl = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([`await import("${originalWorkerUrl}");`], {type: 'text/javascript'}))
```
We can check Worker constructor's `options` parameter and choose a proper workaround depending on the value of `type` option.

Research direction
Start from the Worker constructor options and the workaround referenced in the issue, then compare the pdf.js example at the linked api.js location. Determine how module-worker options should select the workaround, and verify that both module and non-module workers continue to load correctly.
