Add support for reading plain text from PDFs

Currently there’s no built-in command line tool on macOS for reading plain text from PDFs (for summarisation etc), as far as I know. Textutil can be used for reading from RTFs, Word Docs, HTML and more, but not PDF. We’d have to embed some helper binary in the same way that we do for ffmpeg.
