feat: import Rnote notebooks (Issue #47)

The import (menu entry and drag & drop) now also accepts .rnote files
from Rnote 0.5.10 on, including the transformation and document config
layouts that changed in 0.13 and 0.15. Taken over: brush strokes with
their pressure curve, shapes as outlines, texts, bitmap images and SVG
images, which are rasterized with resvg (Rnote stores imported PDF
pages as SVG). Fixed-size and continuous documents keep their pages;
infinite ones become an endless notebook.

The parts shared with the Xournal++ import moved to src/import.rs.
resvg and its dependencies were added to the Flatpak cargo sources.

- **Paste with a finger:** Pressing the page with a finger for half a second opens a "Paste" menu – a screenshot, copied text or copied objects land exactly at that spot.
- **Import** (☰ menu, or drag the file into the window) – **PDF**: Every PDF page becomes a notebook page with the PDF page as background. Portrait pages become A4; landscape pages (e.g. slides) get a landscape page without an empty strip below. When you zoom in, PDF pages are re-rendered more sharply.
**Xournal++** (`.xopp`, also `.xoj` from Xournal): strokes with pen pressure, highlighters, texts, images, lined/squared/dotted paper and PDF backgrounds are taken over (the PDF is looked for at its old place and next to the file). LaTeX formulas are skipped.
**Rnote** (`.rnote`, from Rnote 0.5.10): strokes with pen pressure, shapes, texts and images; PDF pages imported in Rnote become images. Pages stay pages, infinite documents become an endless notebook.
