Title: Drop Charm rendering through SVG and replace it with a Swing implementation

As mentioned in [#205](https://github.com/anathema/anathema/issues/205#issuecomment-5510693), I'm working on a replacement for our Charm rendering system.
I'm removing the Batik SVG implementation and replacing it with a new interface in Swing.
This makes for much clearer code with less chance for hickups. It will be easier to modify and enhance and might even be faster.

Moreover, it should address issues #42, #152 and #182 to the point that if they occur at all, we should be able to track them down easier.

I'm opening this pull request so it is easier to track the changes I make and comment on them, if you feel like it.
It is not yet ready to pull, and it will probably take some time to get done due to external constraints.
