        Resolves an indirect object to an indirect object in this PDF file.

        If the input indirect object already belongs to this PDF file, it is
        returned directly. Otherwise, the object is retrieved from the input
        object's PDF file using the object's ID number and generation number. If
        the object cannot be found, a warning is logged and a `NullObject` is
        returned.

        If the object is not already in this PDF file, it is added to the file's
        list of objects and assigned a new ID number and generation number of 0.
        The hash value of the object is then added to the `_idnum_hash`
        dictionary, with the corresponding `IndirectObject` reference as the
        value.

            data: The `IndirectObject` to resolve.

            The resolved `IndirectObject` in this PDF file.
