Option to emit mildly optimized svg paths

[rsheeter]

To enable deletion of some java code and a somewhat slow step in icon svg processing provide an optional optimized svg path that does the following if/when it produces a shorter string:

• Use relative vs absolute coords
• Collapse repeated lines (e.g. h20 h30 -> h50)
• Use lineto shorthands (e.g. horizontal or vertical line)
• Remove nop instructions, e.g. l0,0 but more generally any command that doesn't move the pen
• Decrease accuracy of floats
• Convert degenerate curves to lines
• Drop leading 0 when possible (e.g 0.5 => .5)
• Drop separator between coords when second is negative, e.g. emit 160-160 not 160,-160
• Use "smooth" cubic/quadratic curve commands when possible (reflection of end of previous gives first control)

That is, implement most optimizations from https://github.com/svg/svgo/blob/main/plugins/convertPathData.js but apply during generation of a String for a BezPath instead of as a standalone step. Consider not implementing arc conversion; arcs have a way of breaking things.

Impact: should cut minutes off the time to produce a complete set of icons.

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/d#path_commands
• https://svgo.dev/docs/preset-default/#plugins-list
  • Note that as we generate the svg many remove element steps are avoided by simply not generating them
