When testing the Emacs 30 pre-release I found that all of the PDF files
which I tried to view were not readable because the text appeared to be
missing.

Eventually I found the variable doc-view-mupdf-use-svg, and setting it
to nil reverted the rendering to the old method where the text was
visible.

I suggest that, at the very least, this variable should be added to the
NEWS file so that someone having rendering issues after upgrading can
find it more easily.

I am also not sure that having it default to t (enabling SVG rendering
by default) is a good idea.  It probably works well for certain types of
document but it wasn't usable for the ones which I was viewing (which
were all automated invoices sent by e-mail from multiple organisations).

Thanks,
Morgan
