DXF export: Add option to allow beziers to be converted to straight lines (fix #540)

Gordon Williams requested to merge gfwilliams/inkscape-extensions:fix-for-bug-540 into master

What does the merge request do?

This fixes #540 (closed) - while LWPOLYLINES can contain SPLINEs, this provides an option to export without producing splines.

Some tools (some laser cutters, OpenSCAD) don't support splines in DXF so we have to manually do 'Object to Path' then 'Flatten Beziers' when saving every time - this extra option avoids that step by letting Inkscape flatten beziers at the time the file is saved as a DXF.

closes #540 (closed)

Summary for release notes
