[V2] feat(compress): add linearize option for fast web viewing (#5280)
# Description of Changes

This pull request adds a new "Linearize PDF" option to the PDF
compression tool, enabling users to optimize PDFs for fast web viewing.
The change includes updates to the user interface, parameters, and form
data handling to support this feature.

**User Interface Updates:**
- Added a new checkbox labeled "Linearize PDF for fast web viewing" to
the compression settings UI, allowing users to enable or disable PDF
linearization.

**Localization:**
- Introduced a new localization string for the "Linearize PDF for fast
web viewing" label in the English (UK) translation file.

**Parameter Handling:**
- Updated the `CompressParameters` interface and default parameters to
include a `linearize` boolean flag.
- Modified the form data builder to append the `linearize` parameter
when submitting compression requests.
