Adds a processing mode that removes the invisible (render mode 3) OCR text layer in place. Unlike `--ocr-engine none --force-ocr`, it does not rasterize the page, so images and visible content are preserved unchanged and the output is smaller rather than larger. Options that require rasterization or OCR (--deskew, --clean, --sidecar, etc.) are rejected. Only invisible text is removed; text drawn as visible glyphs under an opaque image (some OCR engines, and OCRmyPDF v2.2 and earlier) cannot be removed this way, as documented. Closes #1435.
