Old PLOTTER::Text is not (yet) removed, but it use negative text size
to mirrored text, which is not really compatible with some plotters (especially PDF).
Using TEXT_ATTRIBUTES is much easy and much better,
so PLOTTER::PlotText() is added.
Note: "old" PLOTTER::Text() is not removed yet.
From master, commit 51d46c0e73
Using arc angles to plot an arc is really error prone due to different
options between plotters, and angles defined in Kicad, using this version of
arc plotting from Kicad is no longer allowed in Kicad code.
Also moves most navigation code to SCH_NAVIGATION_TOOL.
Also changes page number href to anchor syntax ('#foo').
Also adds hypertext processing to SCH_TEXTBOXes.
Also adds combobox with schematic pages to text properties dialog.
The problem is that "real" page numbers can be duplicated, so we work around it
by using virtual page numbers instead which are guaranteed unique.
Example "goto:3" will go to page 3. If customised page numbers are used such as
a, b, c, then to go to page b, we should specify goto:2 (i.e. the virtual page
number).
CHANGED: The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents the name of the
sheet when used anywhere in the schematic editor, including the title block
ADDED: A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} which is replaced with the path to the
current sheet - e.g. "/Sheet 1/Sheet 2".
To ensure backward compatibility, the default drawing sheet now uses
${SHEETPATH}. Custom drawing sheets will need to be manually edited.
Only SVG can actually handle transparency, but we should at least mimic
the color value of other transparent fills by blending with a (presumed)
white paper.

It avoid trying to calculate arc angles (start, end or arc angle) that
frequently create issues due to reverse Y axis, plot mirrored and/or
angle normalization with different criteria.
Fixes#10914https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10914
Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5017
Use 4 digits in mantissa as default and when exporting SVG.
Allow 0 as line width: this is the right value to draw filled shapes with no outline thickness.
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
