Subject: [PATCH] Paths: a quadratic segment whose points coincide measures
 zero length instead of NaN

measured_arclen returned kurbo's arc length unchecked. For a quadratic
segment whose three points coincide, kurbo 0.13.1's QuadBez::arclen
multiplies 0 by infinity and returns NaN. measured_arclen now returns 0
when the measurement is not finite, the same value it gives a segment it
does not measure. Finite results are unchanged.
