Option to disable OCR while uploading a document to Aleph #2122

Sometimes a PDF document we're uploading already has a layer of OCRed text. Currently Aleph OCRs the document again and the extracted text ends up with duplicates.

Ideally, we should provide a way to tell Aleph not to OCR a document while uploading through alephclient or the UI.
