Skip useless tasks in the worker to improve fast scrolling with scann…

…ed books (bug 1866296)

When a page rendering is cancelled, a task is sent to the worker but before it's executed
the rendering task is: the cancel task is more or less useless in this case.
So in using the fact that draining the message queue has a higher priority
than draining the event one, it's possible to get all the current tasks, hence
it's possible to cancel some tasks which are before a cancel task.
