Using convert(1) of ImageMagick for SVG -> PDF conversion results in
PDFs containing raster (bitmap) images which sometimes look blurry.
Ideally speaking, SVG to PDF conversion should retain vector graphics
in SVG.
rsvg-convert(1) can do such conversions with regard to simple SVGs
generated by dot(1).
Unfortunately, rsvg-convert(1) does not cover some of SVG features
specific to Inkscape.
inkscape(1) of Inkscape naturally covers such SVG features.
So add a route in svg2pdf() so that inkscape(1) is used when it is
available.
Note:
After this change, if you have Inkscape installed, ImageMagick and
librsvg are not required.
