- For EAN/UPC accept space as alternative add-on separator to '+',
and accept GTIN-13 format with & without 2-digit or 5-digit

change # 147 -> 127 to use up barcode # holes;
use "common.h" funcs `str_to_uppercase()` -> `to_upper()`,
`count_char_occurrences()` -> `chr_cnt()`;

use single "<path>" instead of multiple "<rect>"s to draw boxes
(reduces file size)
Add `EMBED_VECTOR_FONT` to `output_options` (CLI `--embedfont`) to
enable embedding of font in vector output - currently only for
SVG output of EAN/UPC
GUI: use "OCR-B" font for EAN/UPC and "Arimo" for all others (was
"Helvetica" for both); paint background of screen preview light
grey so as contrasts with whitespace and quiet zones
