Don't require stream data provider to know length in advance

Breaking API change: length parameter has disappeared from the
StreamDataProvider version of QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData
since it is no longer necessary to compute it in advance.  This
breaking change is justified by the fact that removing the length
parameter provides the caller an opportunity to simplify the calling
code.

* NOTE: BREAKING API CHANGE. Remove previously required length
parameter from the version QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData
that uses a stream data provider. Prior to qpdf 3.0.0, you had to
compute the stream length in advance so that qpdf could internally
verify that the stream data had the same length every time the
provider was invoked. Now this requirement is enforced a
different way, and the length parameter is no longer required.
Note that I take API-breaking changes very seriously and only did
it in this case since the lack of need to know length in advance
could significantly simplify people's code. If you were
previously going to a lot of trouble to compute the length of the
new stream data in advance, you now no longer have to do that.
You can just drop the length parameter and remove any code that
was previously computing the length. Thanks to Tobias Hoffmann
for pointing out how annoying the original interface was.
