Handle object ID 0 (fixes #99)

This is CVE-2017-9208.

The QPDF library uses object ID 0 internally as a sentinel to
represent a direct object, but prior to this fix, was not blocking
handling of 0 0 obj or 0 0 R as a special case. Creating an object in
the file with 0 0 obj could cause various infinite loops. The PDF spec
doesn't allow for object 0. Having qpdf handle object 0 might be a
better fix, but changing all the places in the code that assumes objid
== 0 means direct would be risky.

* CVE-2017-9208: Handle references to and appearance of object 0
as a special case. Object 0 is not allowed, and qpdf was using it
internally to represent direct objects.
* CVE-2017-9209: Fix infinite loop caused by attempting to
reconstruct the xref table while already in the process of
reconstructing the xref table.
