:pr:2898: Ported improved implementation of :class:.SVGMobject from 3b1b/manim
The implementation of :class:.SVGMobject is completely changed in this release.
Manim now uses the Python library svgelements to parse SVGs, instead of trying
to do it itself. The former class for SVG path objects, SVGPathMobject has been
replaced (without deprecation) with :class:.VMobjectFromSVGPath.
If you need to create a mobject from an SVG path string, you can do so via::
import svgelements as se
my_path_mobject = VMobjectFromSVGPath(se.Path(my_path_string))
The unused class TexSymbol has been removed. The modules
manim.mobject.svg.svg_path and manim.mobject.svg.style_utils became
superfluous due to the rework and have been removed.
