Redact PDF: keep the text you didn't cover searchable - #87

Conversation
Redacted pages are still saved as images, so nothing under a mark can be recovered. The text outside the marks is now added back as an invisible layer, so the file can be searched, selected and copied. Text is only added back when it shows on the rendered page: runs that touch a mark, sit under an existing black box or are drawn in the page colour are left out. A checkbox turns it off for an image-only file. Part of #85.

Fixes #85 (the scrolling half shipped in #86).
Redacted pages are still saved as images with the marks burned in, so nothing under a mark can be recovered. Until now that also meant the rest of the file lost its text. Now the text outside the marks is added back as an invisible layer, the way OCR tools do it, so it can be searched, selected and copied again.
What gets added back. A text run is kept only when:
A run that's only partly covered is dropped as a whole, rather than guessing where letters fall.
Font. The layer uses a glyphless Type0 font with an identity ToUnicode map, so any script (Hindi, Tamil, accented Latin…) is searchable, and nothing is ever drawn with it.
Option. A "Keep the rest of the text searchable" checkbox (on by default) gives an image-only file when unticked. PDF to scanned PDF is unchanged: still no text.
Copy. The hint, the intro and two FAQ answers are updated in all 16 languages.
