rusty-pdfgrep 0.1.0

Grep through PDF files — a Rust port of Hans-Peter Deifel's `pdfgrep(1)` with lopdf-backed text extraction, regex + fancy-regex pluggable engines, --password retry for encrypted PDFs, GNU-grep-compatible color output, recursive walking with fnmatch include/exclude, and a typed library API.
