Image Trace: preset docs name the enhanced versions and older figures

The preset paragraphs say that the enhanced versions use the same Paths,
Corners and Noise, and that Corners 50 applies to the other eight
presets. The quality notes add the staircase and anchor rises in Line
Art, Outline, 3 Colors, Sketched Art and Silhouettes, and say which
figures were measured at the earlier values. The anchor-limit comments
name the same settings in both places.

the other sections of this file, and in the Image Trace entries of
