implement styling of fill/stroke/strokeWidth when using Font.draw() or Glyph.draw()

[Connum]

Description

Implements a new method Path.applyStyles(), which applies valid style properties (fill, stroke, strokeWidth) to the Path. This is used in Glyph.getPath() and Font.getPath() and allows to specify styling options e.g. when using Font.draw() or Glyph.draw().

Motivation and Context

Implements #623.

I ended up having a little time to go through it now before work.

I would treat the outline positioning as a separate follow-up issue. It comes into play during the actual canvas drawing and we'll have to take it into account there, but at least the values get passed along with the Path now.

But good point with the line behaviour. We should take a look at that and find good values for it, and probably add an option to influence it according to one's needs.

In my codebase I'm doing a kind of dirty hack by multiplying the outline width by 2 then filling the text with destination-out compositing mode to cut out the inner part of the stroke.

That's what I thought of doing. Doesn't even feel too dirty to me.

The problem with that is that it doesn't work for SVG output, unless we want to use masking.
