feat: use pikepdf instead of PyPDF2, bumps Python min. version to 3.6
Several reasons: 1. PyPDF2 isn't maintained anymore. 2. On PDF files with lots of pages, you hit a recursion limit because of the way PyPDF2 is written. The `_sweepIndirectReferences` function is recursive instead of being iterative. 3. Performances. PyPDF2 is a pure Python library, while pikepdf uses QPDF, a C++ library under the hood. It is much faster. This is quite noticable when processing PDFs such as books. 4. pikepdf fixes PDF. While implementing the ToC feature, I noticed that for some PDFs it didn't show up on the Remarkable, even before processing it. For some reason, simply opening a PDF with pikepdf and saving it again fixes the issue. So we get it fixed for free.
