feat(conversion): add SVG to PDF conversion functionality (#5431)
# Description of Changes


This pull request introduces a new SVG to PDF conversion feature,
including both backend and frontend changes. The backend adds a secure,
vector-preserving SVG-to-PDF conversion endpoint with comprehensive SVG
sanitization to prevent XSS and SSRF attacks. The frontend is updated to
route SVG-to-PDF conversions through this new endpoint and to
distinguish SVG from other image formats. Additionally, a new dependency
is added for PDF rendering.

**Backend: SVG to PDF Conversion and Security**

* Adds a new API endpoint and controller (`ConvertSvgToPDF`) for
converting SVG files to PDF, using Batik and PDFBox with vector graphics
preservation and robust error handling.
* Implements SVG sanitization (`SvgSanitizer`) to remove scripts, event
handlers, and dangerous URLs, protecting against XSS and SSRF attacks.
* Introduces a utility (`SvgToPdf`) for rendering SVG to PDF with
timeout protection against resource exhaustion attacks.
* Defines a new request model (`SvgToPdfRequest`) for SVG to PDF
conversion requests.
* Adds the `pdfbox-graphics2d` dependency for vector graphics PDF
rendering.

**Frontend: Routing and Format Handling**

* Updates conversion endpoint constants to add `svg-pdf` and maps SVG
files to use the new `svg-to-pdf` route instead of the generic
image-to-PDF route.
* Removes SVG from the generic image format list and introduces a
dedicated check for SVG format (`isSvgFormat`).
