Feature request: support linux

[DomenicoMammola]

Hi,
first of all thanks for your useful component.
Any plan to support linux (with FPC)?
TIA,
Domenico

I'm voting for it too.

For the purposes of my tasks I've experimented with a transfer of existing implementation of PdfiumCtrl unit to Linux (FPC), and it turned out that there is a lot of WinAPI usage, so the existing implementation would have to be badly rewritten. BUT I've got an idea on how to make TPdfControl a really cross-platform component:

TPdfControl = class(TImgView32)

where TImgView32 comes from graphics32.
As a benefit one could utilize additional features of TImgView32 such as layers for highlighting text selection and the like.

@DomenicoMammola
See PR#48.
This is an initial implementation based on graphics32 that is yet far from its full fledged sibling for Windows (TPdfControl). But I think that missing functionality can be gradually added.
