Fix bugtracker #340: small PDF text drawn too bold in Adobe Acrobat

Qt 6 declares the PDF/X namespace (pdfxid) in the XMP metadata of every
PDF it writes, even when the file is not PDF/X. Adobe Acrobat then draws
small text too bold at some zoom levels. Qt only needs the declaration
for PDF/X-4 output, which QElectroTech never asks for.

Blank the declaration out after export, in place with spaces so no
offsets move, in both the export window and the --export-pdf path.
