Description
To enable deletion of some java code and a somewhat slow step in icon svg processing provide an optional optimized svg path that does the following if/when it produces a shorter string:
- [x] Use relative vs absolute coords
- [ ] Collapse repeated lines (e.g. h20 h30 -> h50)
- [x] Use lineto shorthands (e.g. horizontal or vertical line)
- [x] Remove nop instructions, e.g. `l0,0` but more generally any command that doesn't move the pen
- [x] Decrease accuracy of floats
- [ ] Convert degenerate curves to lines
- [ ] Drop leading 0 when possible (e.g 0.5 => .5)
- [x] Drop separator between coords when second is negative, e.g. emit `160-160` not `160,-160`
- [x] Use "smooth" cubic/quadratic curve commands when possible (reflection of end of previous gives first control)
That is, implement most optimizations from https://github.com/svg/svgo/blob/main/plugins/convertPathData.js but apply during generation of a String for a BezPath instead of as a standalone step. Consider not implementing arc conversion; arcs have a way of breaking things.
Impact: should cut _minutes_ off the time to produce a complete set of icons.

* Note that as we generate the svg many remove element steps are avoided by simply not generating them
