Jim Barlow d7a9f3a2ab Transfer Unicode document information from input PDF to output PDF
What a pain getting Unicode right, but there it is.

I cannot find anything to confirm that it is acceptable to put the PDF/A
definition file at the end of the Ghostscript inputs.  I did this because
Ghostscript seems to copy document info from the last document on the
list so reportlab's information "wins" in normal order, so it fixes that
issue, and reportlab 'helpfully' fills in all of those fields even if it
does not have information.

It could also work to pass document information along to reportlab, and
set it in each output PDF: .debug.pdf, .rendered.pdf, and .page.pdf to
ensure that whatever page is last in the pipeline has the right
information. Or perhaps it's possible to write a Postscript trailer that
overwrites any previous docinfo with no side effects, but I can't find
any information on how to do that.  I don't think it's worth pursuing
unless this arrangement causes some problem with PDF/A generation.

On a minor note, Jhove misreads the way I have encoded the strings in
producing its validation log.  It reads them as UTF-16 little endian, so
will tend to produce a string of Asian characters in place of the real
data.
