[PATCH 1/3] docs: sphinx/kfigure.py: Use rsvg-convert(1) for DOT -> PDF conversion

[Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@gmail.com>]

On openSUSE, dot(1) command does not support direct PDF output.
On other distros, generated PDF images have unnecessarily wide margins,
especially for small graphs.

DOT -> PDF conversion can by improved by the following steps:

  1. DOT -> SVG by "dot -Tsvg"
  2. SVG -> PDF by "rsvg-convert -f pdf"

Resulting PDFs will be free of extra margins.

Add rules in kfigure.py so that the above mentioned steps are taken
when rsvg-convert(1) is available.

Note that rsvg-convert(1) is recommended by sphinx_pre_install.
So it is most likely that existing systems for building pdfdocs have
rsvg-convert(1) installed.

Note:
    SVG features supported by rsvg-convert(1) vary depends on its
    version and distro config.
    For example, the one found on Ubuntu Bionic (version 2.40.20) does
    poor job in rendering some of SVG files drawn by Inkscape.

    SVG files of graphs generated by dot(1) are converted nicely even
    with such old versions of rsvg-convert.
    So this change won't affect the quality of such graphs in any way.
