docs: sphinx/kfigure.py: Use inkscape(1) for SVG -> PDF conversion
Using convert(1) of ImageMagick for SVG -> PDF conversion results in PDFs containing raster (bitmap) images which sometimes look blurry. Ideally speaking, SVG to PDF conversion should retain vector graphics in SVG. rsvg-convert(1) can do such conversions with regard to SVG files generated by dot(1). Unfortunately, rsvg-convert(1) does not cover some of SVG features specific to Inkscape. inkscape(1) of Inkscape naturally covers such SVG features. So add a route in svg2pdf() so that inkscape(1) is used when it is available. Note: After this change, if you have Inkscape installed, ImageMagick nor librsvg are not required.
