add optional angle radius parameter in curbeBezier `curveStep` curves

[njourdane]

Following #177, as suggested in #177 (comment), it could be useful to have a curve similar to curveStep but with smooth angles:

An important note is that the curve angle should be identical whatever its length. This way we don't see curves duplication on nodes with many child of various link length:

Those curves could be named curbeBezierX and curbeBezierY as suggested in this example.

In fact, I think those curves could be included in curveStep, by adding an extra optional parameter allowing to define the angle radius, which is 0 by default.

This will also allow some customization. This is for instance large angle (ie curveStep(15)) and small angle (ie curveStep(5)) stepCurves, respectively:

Some other visuals to get the idea:

curveStep(10)

curveStepBefore(10)

curveStepAfter(10)

Edit: as pointed out by @Fil, the curve horizontal and vertical distance might be lower than twice the angle radius. In that case the radius remains the same, but angles stops before 90° in order to share the same tangential line. Example with several curves formed with curveStep(20), tangential line in red:

Nice! Note that you need the difference in x and the difference in y to be greater than twice the radius—the spec should also describe what to do when it's smaller.

Good point! I edited the issue.

We'll need to specify all the cases :)

pseudo code:

move to x1,y1
xa = (x1+x2)/2; // x1+r if stepBefore, x2-r if stepAfter
ya = (y1+y2)/2;
sx = Math.sign(x2-x1); 
sy = Math.sign(y2-y1); 
if (|x2-x1| > 2r && |y2-y1| > 2r):
  line to xa - sx * r, y1 
  arc to xa, y1 + sy * r
  line to xa, y2 - sy * r
  arc to xa + sx * r, y2
  line to x2, y2
else if (|x2-x1| > 2r)
  … // line + bezier + line?
else if (|y2-y1| > 2r)
  … // ?? smaller r?
else
  ... // bezier ??

Does that image cover all the cases?
