PDF performance improvements

Info

Working with PDF documents was very slow if the document
contains many (several thousand) resources, such as color
spaces, images etc. This has been improved.
Also fixed:
- The libpdf uses now floating point numbers to represent
real numbers (as in Acrobat 6 and later). This gives more
accurate results in the PDF to PostScript conversion for
small numbers.
- The libpdf does now support the "Version" entry in the
documents catalog, which overrides the PDF version
specified in the documents header. This is needed for
the "pdfcat" update u0850.
