[V2] feat(convert): add PDF/X export option (#5285)

# Description of Changes

This pull request adds support for converting PDF files to PDF/X format
in the frontend, alongside the existing PDF/A conversion. The changes
include UI updates, translation strings, configuration, and processing
logic to enable PDF to PDF/X conversion using the same backend endpoint
as PDF/A, with appropriate user options and warnings.

**PDF/X Conversion Support:**

- Added a new `ConvertToPdfxSettings` component for configuring PDF/X
conversion options, including output format selection and digital
signature warnings.
(`frontend/src/core/components/tools/convert/ConvertToPdfxSettings.tsx`)
- Updated the conversion settings UI to display PDF/X options when
converting from PDF to PDF/X.
(`frontend/src/core/components/tools/convert/ConvertSettings.tsx`)

**Configuration and Processing Logic:**

- Extended conversion constants and parameters to recognize PDF/X as a
target format, map it to the PDF/A backend endpoint, and ensure correct
file naming and processing behavior.
(`frontend/src/core/constants/convertConstants.ts`,
`frontend/src/core/hooks/tools/convert/useConvertOperation.ts`,
`frontend/src/core/hooks/tools/convert/useConvertParameters.ts`)
- Ensured that PDF/X conversions are processed separately per file,
similar to PDF/A.
(`frontend/src/core/hooks/tools/convert/useConvertOperation.ts`)

**UI and Translation Updates:**

- Updated translation strings to include PDF/X options, descriptions,
and warnings. (`frontend/public/locales/en-GB/translation.toml`)
