Convert SVG bezier traces to KiCad curves #35

Description

@JarrettR

With KiCad 8, arbitrary shapes can be connected to nets. Instead of the Inkscape hack with adding line segments to approximate curved traces, this can now be done natively.

The s-expression for the curves are like this:

	(gr_curve
		(pts
			(xy 66.4748 93.278) (xy 62.7248 90.378) (xy 64.2748 96.428) (xy 61.012077 95.482793)
		)
		(stroke
			(width 0.2)
			(type default)
		)
		(layer "F.Cu")
		(net 7)
	)

That ends up looking like this:

The four sets of points will end up looking like this in Inkscape:
