[V2] feat(flatten): add optional rendering DPI parameter to settings in flatten (#5276)

# Description of Changes

This pull request adds support for specifying a custom rendering DPI for
PDF flattening, allowing users to control the output sharpness and file
size. The changes update the UI to include a new DPI input (when
appropriate), extend parameter handling, and ensure the DPI value is
passed to the backend if provided.

**User interface enhancements:**

* Added a `NumberInput` field in `FlattenSettings.tsx` for users to
specify the rendering DPI, shown only when "Flatten only forms" is not
selected. The input includes label, help text, placeholder, and value
constraints.
* Updated the English locale file to add translation strings for the
rendering DPI input label, help text, and placeholder.

**Parameter and data handling:**

* Extended the `FlattenParameters` interface and default parameters to
include an optional `renderDpi` property.
* Modified the form data builder in `useFlattenOperation.ts` to append
the `renderDpi` value to the request if specified.
* Imported `NumberInput` from the Mantine UI library to support the new
DPI input field in the settings component.
