"@json-render/react-pdf": minor

New @json-render/react-pdf package for generating PDF documents from JSON specs.

New: @json-render/react-pdf

PDF renderer for json-render, powered by @react-pdf/renderer. Define catalogs and registries the same way as @json-render/react, but output PDF documents instead of web UI.

• renderToBuffer(spec) — render a spec to an in-memory PDF buffer
• renderToStream(spec) — render to a readable stream (pipe to HTTP response)
• renderToFile(spec, path) — render directly to a file on disk
• defineRegistry / createRenderer — same API as @json-render/react for custom components
• standardComponentDefinitions — Zod-based catalog definitions (server-safe via @json-render/react-pdf/catalog)
• standardComponents — React PDF implementations for all standard components
• Server-safe import via @json-render/react-pdf/server

Standard components:

• Document structure: Document, Page
• Layout: View, Row, Column
• Content: Heading, Text, Image, Link
• Data: Table, List
• Decorative: Divider, Spacer
• Page-level: PageNumber

Includes full context support: state management, visibility conditions, actions, validation, and repeat scopes — matching the capabilities of @json-render/react.
