fix(conversion): improve PDF/A conversion quality, color accuracy, and compliance (#5396)
# Description of Changes


* Transparency Fix: Implemented a pre-processing step that adds an
opaque white background to pages before conversion. This ensures that
transparent elements are correctly
flattened against white rather than defaulting to black (a common issue
in Ghostscript flattening).
* Color Distortion Fix: Removed a misconfigured -sDefaultCMYKProfile
setting in the Ghostscript command that was incorrectly pointing to an
RGB profile. This resolves the
"dark/black" color corruption previously seen in print-ready CMYK PDFs.
   * PDF/A Compliance Improvements:
* Font Handling: Updated fixType1FontCharSet to only add a standard
CharSet if it is missing or empty. This prevents validation errors where
subsetted fonts were being forced
         to declare glyphs they did not contain.
* Spot Color Unification: Added fixSeparationColorSpaces to detect and
unify TintTransform objects for Separation colors with the same colorant
name, ensuring consistency
         across document resources.
* OCG Naming: Ensured all Optional Content Groups have a valid Name
entry.
