RosettaCode one, better at small scales plus simplifies
licence/attribution issues;
fix licence/attribution issues for `plot_hexline()` also which
is actually based on `plotLine()` in zingl code (ticket #357,

many thanks to the Rev Adrian Kennard; corrected "reedsol"

from originals is whitespace/formatting
(ticket #357, props stefan6419846)

replace `gm_macro_matrix[]` array with calculation (marginally
slower but saves ~1.4k);

other renamings to hopefully more explanatory names;

re "tif.c" and will prompt the next next item "pdf417.c"

of the "advertising clause", new implementation (which is much
faster anyway) props Harald Kuhr and Bob Montgomery
pdf417.c: TODO: Replace all code adapted from "pdf417.frm" as it
was released under GPL v2.0 or later
