Add rudimentary PDF/A-2b support

Redo merge request !32 (closed) using the pdfx package and avoid command line hassle using \pdfcreationdate.

RGB logo images are from !32 (closed), unknown to me how these are created.

Thanks a lot! I'll just wait to see what LiU-tryck say about using only RGB graphics for printing, as your merge request does not rely on a class option for enabling PDF/A.

That can be added, but let's wait for their response, I'm pretty sure there aren't any other ill effects.

Hm, can be possible to get both PDF/A and PDF/X in one file:

Hold this merge request for now, I'll look again when I get the time.

Compare with previous version

Fixed. Now produces conformant PDF/A-2b and PDF/X-4 (modulo hyperlinks), both now use a CMYK color profile.

I added a script for converting PDFs for inclusion to PDF/A, so now there are no warnings for Times or Helvetica anymore, nor for the color profile of the included PDF.

pdflatex does not produce a PDF/A-2b conformant output still because of Calibri, but xelatex and lualatex do give a conformant PDF/A-2b.

The patch exchanges scigen.pdf for the converted PDF/A-1b (!) conformant PDF, I added back the old one as scigen-orig.pdf

One more adjustment is needed, to ensure the color profile is on the system. Patch on its way.

Ok, looks good when checking locally with verapdf and verifying the layout. Let me know when the last fix is there and I'll merge it
