James R. Barlow 900a60fd10 Add verapdf integration for speculative PDF/A conversion
Introduce a fast path for PDF/A conversion that uses pikepdf to add
PDF/A structures directly (sRGB ICC profile and XMP metadata), then
validates with verapdf. If validation passes, skip Ghostscript entirely.
If validation fails or verapdf is unavailable, fall back to the existing
Ghostscript conversion path.

New files:
- src/ocrmypdf/_exec/verapdf.py: CLI wrapper for verapdf validator
- tests/test_verapdf.py: Test suite for new functionality

Modified:
- pdfa.py: Add speculative_pdfa_conversion() and helpers
- _pipeline.py: Add try_speculative_pdfa() function
- _pipelines/_common.py: Integrate speculative path into postprocess()

"""Create a Postscript PDFMARK file for Ghostscript PDF/A conversion.
pdfmark is an extension to the Postscript language that describes some PDF
features like bookmarks and annotations. It was originally specified Adobe
Distiller, for Postscript to PDF conversion.
Ghostscript uses pdfmark for PDF to PDF/A conversion as well. To use Ghostscript
to create a PDF/A, we need to create a pdfmark file with the necessary metadata.
This function takes care of the many version-specific bugs and peculiarities in
Ghostscript's handling of pdfmark.
The only information we put in specifies that we want the file to be a
PDF/A, and we want to Ghostscript to convert objects to the sRGB colorspace
if it runs into any object that it decides must be converted.

target_filename: filename to save
icc: ICC identifier such as 'sRGB'
