Add support for hpgl export #32

Now that vpype has hpgl export, vsketch should support it.

Vsketch.save() currently always generate SVG (using vp.write_svg()). The goal would be to support HPGL export as well, using vp.write_hpgl(). The way I see things would be:

add a new format parameter (default to None)
attempt to infer desired format from file extension (if available, raise error otherwise)
add tests to validate that the generated output is indeed in the expected format
update the documentation and/or examples
