Julian Offenhäuser 34350ee9e7 LibPDF: Allow reading documents with incremental updates ...

The PDF spec allows incremental changes of a document by appending a
new XRef table and file trailer to it. These will only contain the
changed objects and will point back to the previous change, forming an
arbitrarily long chain of XRef sections and file trailers.

Every one of those XRef sections may be encoded as an XRef stream as
well, in which case the trailer is part of the stream dictionary as
usual. To make this easier, I made it so every XRef table may "own" a
trailer. This means that the main file trailer is now part of the main
XRef table.
