Mention tools that can edit SVG files #34

03-images-and-svg.md talk about SVG. Unfortunately writing SVG by hand is boring and "impossible" for complex tasks. There are great tools to edit SVG files, e.g. Inkscape, and almost every plotting library can export to SVG. I think that we should mention this things.

Yeah, I agree, but that's beyond the focus of this course. They will need to learn how to use parameterised shapes so they can manipulate them according to their data.
