Switch to lualatex and generate accessible PDF/UA-2 output

Add \DocumentMetadata for PDF 2.0 / PDF/UA-2, load tagpdf with
activate-all, extend hypersetup with pdftitle/pdfauthor/pdflang/
pdfdisplaydoctitle, and add alt text to the letterhead and signature
images. Drop xetex-only xltxtra and switch the Makefile from xelatex
to lualatex. Verified compliant with verapdf's PDF/UA-2 profile.
