Description

If malformed PDF/A identification metadata without <pdfaid:part> element is present, Preflight PDFAIdentificationValidation throws NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.pdfbox.preflight.metadata.PDFAIdentificationValidation.validatePDFAIdentifer(PDFAIdentificationValidation.java:85)
...

PDFAIdentificationValidation.checkPartNumber() method should register an error instead.
