The panic fault on bad Tf and TL should be a skip for general parsing as a panic makes the library unusable.

This PR prevents panics when a content stream uses Tf (set text font and size)
or TL (set text leading) with an unexpected number of arguments.
Today, page.go does:
Some real-world PDFs produced by use non-standard or malformed
Tf/TL, which causes a panic ("bad TL") and terminates extraction, even
though the rest of the page is readable.
This change makes those cases non-fatal:
This matches the library’s general behavior of ignoring unknown or
unsupported operators instead of panicking, and allows callers to
still extract partial text from PDFs with slightly malformed content
streams.
I’ve tested this against a PDF that previously panicked ("bad TL"); with
this change the panic is gone and text extraction now succeeds.
