feat:(pdfa-conversion) Implement Strict PDF/A Mode with Verification (#5663)

# Description of Changes


This PR introduces a new "Strict Mode" for the PDF to PDF/A conversion
tool. When enabled, the application will use VeraPDF to verify that the
resulting file is perfectly compliant with the selected PDF/A standard.
If validation fails, the system will return a descriptive error instead
of a non-compliant file.
