Save form contents to FDF/XFDF files

Link to original bug (#602441)
Description
Besides saving filled PDF forms as PDF files (see Bug #480668), evince should allow to save the contents of filled out forms to FDF/XFDF files. Also, loading data into PDF forms should be supported.
Why is this needed, even though saving PDF forms is already supported? Because (X)FDF is a great way to collect data using PDF forms. If forms are not meant to be printed, but the field values are meant to be processed, then a data format is necessary. Also, (X)FDF files are way smaller than the PDF forms, which is relevant when collecting data in a larger scale.
