Initial commit: Rust PDF-to-Markdown library

- Smart PDF type detection (text vs scanned) without full document load
- Text extraction using lopdf directly
- Markdown conversion with header/list/code detection
- CLI tools: detect-pdf, pdf2md

//! Markdown conversion with structure detection

//! - Headers (by font size)
//! - Lists (bullet points, numbered lists)
//! - Code blocks (monospace fonts, indentation)
//! - Paragraphs
