Compact write-mode and ISO PDF

While verifying PDF-A compliance of documents, I stumbled across PoDoFo's default output mode violating the ISO specs. The VeraPDF rule with reference is: https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wiki/PDFA-Parts-2-and-3-rules#rule-619-1

The code in question is:

podofo/src/base/PdfObject.cpp

Line 168 in 4280199

if( (eWriteMode & ePdfWriteMode_Clean) == ePdfWriteMode_Clean )

The easiest solution would be to just drop the conditional and the size impact should be pretty small.
