PDF/UA improvements

[MerlijnWajer]

VeraPDF now supports PDF/UA verification:

~/verapdf/verapdf --format xml --flavour ua1 /tmp/test.pdf  > /tmp/out.xml

We should fix the problems that it finds with our PDFs, I suspect that this will also help with the problems that Adobe finds.

This means at least:

• Adding the Primary language
• Mark Figure's as Artifacts
• Adding alt text to Figure's (we might not need to if we mark them as artifact)
• Define language for text blocks
• Potentially indicate the reading order?

On alt text: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34036200/add-alternative-text-for-an-image-in-tagged-pdf-pdf-ua-using-itext

The PDF spec chapter 10.6 and 10.7 are relevant: https://ghostscript.com/~robin/pdf_reference17.pdf

The natural language for text blocks could be determined from the hOCR lang attributes, perhaps
