Creates a Type-3 representation of our stroke font, embeds it in the PDF
and then causes text to be represented in that font.
This prevents the need for over-stroking and keeps our PDFs searchable
and accessible
This still leaves a few things out in the cold,
such as hit-testing and polygon generation.
But at least it allows us to plot with a default
font.

[Resolve conflicts with JP's fix to same. I'm not sure if we support !m_mirrorIsHorizontal, but
it was in other code, so I left it in just to be
safe....]

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
The "Plot to PDF" function was producing PDF files that lacked text and
graphic items in viewers like Adobe and Foxit. This issue was caused by
the use of the %g format specifier for floating-point numbers defined in
the PDF specification when writing text and drawing shapes in the PDF.
This incorrect format led to a "Too Few Operands" error during rendering.
To resolve this issue, all floating-point numbers must be specified in
fixed-point format according to the PDF specification wherever the issue
was generated.

- in DXF coordinates were using 6 digits for coordinate mantissa: this is not
enough for coord in inches. Now use 16 digits
- Arc( VECTOR2I& aCentre, EDA_ANGLE& aStartAngle, EDA_ANGLE& aEndAngle, ...)
was using integers for coord. This creates significant errors for start point
and end points of the arc. Now the center is given in double, and its position
is calculated from angle end points (and radius) to do not generate a position error
for these end points (previously the error could be 20 ... 50 nm)

We fake the alpha channel by pre-multiplying but we forgot to account
for the downscaling of the input channel value in addition to correcting
the alpha * white. This led to clipping when the values overflowed

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.
Rather than hiding a single line at once, we align each word in the
string with the approximate location of the output word. This allows
better selecting text in the output pdf
