feat: a sketch text's height, place and angle can be expressions (#1453)
A sketch text's height, place (x and y) and angle can each be an expression over the design's parameters, and the text follows parameter changes, undo and reopening. Closes #1362. Co-authored-by: NOWN-DEV <NOWN-DEV@users.noreply.github.com>

adds folders to the ones searched for installed fonts. A text's `height`, its `angle` and each coordinate of
|
||||
its `at` can be expressions of the design's parameters, given as strings (`"height": "plate_height / 10"`,
|
||||
`"at": ["plate_width / 2", 5]`): the text keeps the expression and follows the parameters when they change, and
|
||||
saves it with the design. A number takes the place of an expression, and so does moving the text or dragging its
|

handles (what moves becomes a number; turning a text leaves its height as it was). A string that names no
|

parameter is the number it comes to. The same two commands refuse a `text` that is not a string, an `at` that is

A text can follow a curve of its sketch (its **Path**). That curve becomes construction: the
