Subject: [PATCH] Sketcher: Disable autoscale if new constraint value is below
 precision

As the title says - we can get into a scenario where user can specify
constraint equal to 0.0, or similar small value and the scale factor
will become 0 as well, resulting in all geometry trying to be rescaled
to degenerate geometry.

So this patch filters those values out, and bails out from auto-scaling
leaving only solver to handle this value.
