Let's solve #729, Curved Text.

This pull request adds the basic ability to fabric.Text-like's to observe a fabric.Path. It includes a variety of options to control that relationship, such as observing rotation, simple collision detection, and a controllable distance offset along the path. It reimplements both JSON and SVG exporting features. It reimplements the JSON importing feature. It contains several minor bugfixes to existing fabricjs code. It provides detailed commentary of the algorithms related to the text-on-path feature for future development.
Bugfix. Comment in existing fabric code suggests some "opacity" for use with Adobe-based products, but I couldn't find that attribute in a cursory look through the SVG specification. However, there were "fill-opacity" and "stroke-opacity", so they've been included here.
