Adds parabrk option to pdftotext

Adds the parabrk option to `pdftotext`.

The parabrk option is only applicable to raw mode, and attempts to insert an 
additional new line character wherever one can be detected in the PDF. It is 
intended to separate paragraphs when they are separated by vertical whitespace
in the PDF.

It isn't perfect, for instance, it doesn't handle page boundaries.
