Ludy f4d760b139 fix(sign): preserve PNG signature placement and page content (#7093)
# Description of Changes

This PR fixes PNG signature application issues in the PDF signing
workflow.

## What was changed

- Reworked signature application to create locked and printable PDFium
stamp annotations with dedicated appearance streams.
- Removed the use of `FPDFPage_GenerateContent()` from the signature
workflow.
- Preserved the signature's original position and dimensions when
converting from the viewer's top-left coordinate system to PDF
coordinates.
- Added CropBox-aware coordinate conversion for PDFs whose visible page
origin differs from the MediaBox origin.
- Improved signature image extraction to handle internal EmbedPDF asset
references and nested image data.
- Refactored PDFium bitmap creation so image objects can safely be
transferred to annotations.
- Corrected PDFium bitmap ownership and cleanup to prevent duplicate
destruction.
- Added a PDFium WASM integration test covering:
  - Existing page-content preservation
  - Stamp appearance generation
  - Signature coordinates and dimensions
  - Printable, read-only, and locked annotation flags
- Persisted image data taking precedence over internal asset references

## Why the change was made

Applying a PNG signature previously regenerated the complete page
content through PDFium. This could corrupt existing vector or font-based
page elements, including the university logo reported in the linked
issue.

The previous coordinate conversion also relied only on the page height
and did not account for CropBox offsets, allowing the applied signature
to move from its preview position.

Creating a PDFium stamp annotation with its own appearance stream avoids
regenerating existing page content while retaining the selected
signature position and size.


Closes #7083
