Full Release Notes

Changes since 1.20.0:

- Add `font_weight`, the font's 100..=900 weight class, to text items in Rust, Node, Python and `pdf2md --items-json`, with an opt-in `bold_from_weight` on the positioned-text and region APIs that reads bold from a weight of 600 or more and keeps runs of different weight as separate items (#536).
- Leave out text painted wholly outside its rectangular clip, so off-canvas labels no longer leak into the surrounding text (#539).
- Tolerate leading bytes before the `%PDF-` header, locating it within the first 1024 bytes as mupdf, pdfium and poppler do (#538).

`bold_from_weight` is opt-in; `is_bold` and item merging are unchanged by default.

**Rust migration:** `TextItem` literals need `font_weight: None` for items whose weight class is unknown.

Release preparation: #546.
