which reduce rather than aid readibility IMNSHO
manual: mention "--dump" option
in `ESCAPE_MODE`

and accept GTIN-13 format with & without 2-digit or 5-digit
add-on (no separator)
- Buffer length of member `errtxt` in `zint_symbol` extended 100
-> 160 (will be sufficient for eventual translation and

'0' or '1'
- manual: update for new EAN symbologies and mention EANX now
legacy but still supported

("Feedback options"), and add new access methods
`encodedOption1()` etc. to Qt Backend, and use in GUI to provide
better feedback on "Automatic" selections
- AZTEC: give more precise warnings in low ECC situations, and
indicate via `option_1` by setting to -1 (min 3 words), 0
(<5% + 3 words) (`ecc_ratio`)
- set_height: fix non-compliance false positives by using epsilon
in checks (prompted by CODABLOCKF non-compliant warning for
zint-generated compliant height - floating point `rows` mult !=
`zero_count` div; one test regression for CODE93);
better warning messages on non-compliant heights (min/max)
