When checking angles Dim Auto Flip Text did not consider that angles can be almost -180 degrees and should then be treated the same as 180 degree angles.
Fixes#19993.
* To determine the `FlipText` value the normal (either the working plane Z axis or its reverse) and the working plane X axis are used.
* A new fine-tuning parameter `DimAutoFlipText` can be used to disable the functionality. Its default value is `True`.
* The `FlipText` property did not work for angular dimensions and the `TextSpacing` property of angular dimensions was not multiplied by `ScaleMultiplier`. This has been corrected.
Some error messages would only work if objects were supplied as strings. These would fail if objects were passed (as objects) that had already been deleted.
These messages were perhaps originally intended as a debuggin aid but now add clutter to the output panes. Remaining messges are mostly the result of methods to display attributes of an object (which one could call from the Python console) or actually provide some information which would not be obvious from the circumstances
This includes `make_arc_3points`, `make_array`, `make_bezcurve`,
`make_block`, `make_bspline`, `make_circle`, `make_circulararray`,
`make_clone`, `make_copy`, `make_dimension`, `make_drawingview`,
`make_ellipse`, `make_facebinder`, `make_fillet`, `make_label`,
`make_line`, `make_orthoarray`, `make_patharray`, `make_point`,
`make_pointarray`, `make_polararray`, `make_polygon`,
`make_rectangle`, `make_shape2dview`, `make_shapestring`,
`make_sketch`, `make_text`, `make_wire`, `make_wpproxy`.
These are added to the `draftmake` Doxygen group
so that the functions contained in each module are listed
appropriately in the automatically generated documentation.
A single `make_dimension` handles three types of dimensions,
(1) simple linear, (2) linear linked to an object, and (3) linked
to a circular edge.
So, we provide a new function, `make_radial_dimension_obj`,
to handle the third case. In this way we can check the input
parameters much better.
We adjust the `Draft_Dimension` Gui Command accordingly.

So, we provide two new functions, `make_linear_dimension`

Previously the `make_dimension` and `make_angular_dimension`
functions were in `draftobjects/dimension.py`.
Now they are moved to `draftmake/make_dimension.py`.
The original `makeAngularDimension` function requires angles
in radians which is counterintuitive for most cases. Also
the order is `[big, small]`.
The new function `make_angular_dimension` accepts angles
in degrees, and the order is `[small, big]`. The older
function is retained for compatibility purposes.
Also perform several improvements such as PEP8 cleanup,
writing complete docstrings, type checking the input arguments,
and depreacting the older call.
The `Draft.py` module, Gui Command, unit test, and test script
are updated accordingly.
