Remove scientific notation parsing.

This behaviour comes from the initial pdf.js commit but is wrong and
doesn't match other PDF readers like muPDF or pdfium.

From PDF Spec 7.3.3:

A PDF writer shall not use the PostScript language syntax for numbers with non-decimal radices (such
as 16#FFFE) or in exponential format (such as 6.02E23).
