SVG path - import of letter outlines / FlatCAM 8.5

FlatCAM is currently not able to import certain SVG paths. Examples are font outlines generated by Inkscape 0.92 when converting SVG text to paths (Path → “Object to path”). Digits (and letters probably too) with holes such as 4, 6, 8, 9, 0, … are not handled properly within “svgparse.py”. svgparse.py currently misses the path elements “Move” and “Close” and the ability to derive multiple Polygons from a single SVG path node.

Additionally, in my version of the python3 svg.path package (4.0.2) there is no property “closed” for Path objects.

The attached diff fixes both issues.

Edit: this patch is for FlatCAM in Master branch.
