maintenance release, featuring better PDF reading

This is a major release (including breaking changes).

Some notable features include:

• borb no longer uses Decimal thus making the code a bit easier
• borb avoids using non-python files, this was giving some people issues when attempting to package borb
• Annotation objects are now part of the LayoutElement framework

The examples-repository has already been updated to showcase the new code, but expect minor updates to fine-tune it.
