Remove read only from forms (#3423)

# Description of Changes

Create new tool to remove read-only properties of form fields.

- Added new html file to provide a page for the tool
(misc/unlock-pdf-forms.html), as well as new endpoint
(/unlock-pdf-forms) under config/EndpointConfiguration.java
- Added the tool to the list of "view & edit" tools under the home page
in home-legacy.html and navElements.html
- Mapped the frontend in controller/web/OtherWebController.java
- Created a new controller
(controller/api/misc/UnlockPDFFormsController.java) to handle AcroForm
/Ff flags, /Lock tags and XFA Forms, removing the read-only properties
of all form fields of a PDF document.
- Added language entries to all the language files, to correctly display
the tool's title, header,description, etc.

Closes #2965
