If a PNG file with an alpha layer is loaded in paperless-ng, the upload fails with an
UnsupportedImageFormatError()
although PNG files are generally supported. The error comes from OCRmyPDF (line 76 in src/ocrmypdf/_pipeline.py) which in turn tries to fulfill the requirements for img2pdf.img2pdf states that it is meant for lossless conversion and thus does not want alter the input images (e.g. by removing the alpha layer) for conversion.
This PR checks if input images have an alpha layer and removes it by blending it with a white background. This enables support for images with alpha layers and fixes issue #1254.
