M11: Reduce file size shrinks office scans, and never saves a bigger copy (refs #490) (#849)

Office scanners write the default decode array (/Decode [0 1 0 1 0 1]) on their page
images. Reduce skipped every image with a decode array, so a scan stayed the same
size. The default array is now treated as absent; any other array still skips the
image.

Reduce also saved its copy even when it wasn't smaller, reported as "-N% smaller".
It now saves nothing and says the file is already as small as it can be made;
doc_reduce returns "written": false. Optimize PDF still saves (what it discards
may matter more than the size) but says "not smaller".
