Proposal: access to more variables for the Pencil/Freestyle, and Path Tool "at-creation"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While creating some paths it may be useful to be able to set the following
variables in the "create" mode:

1. a tolerance or a sampling rate for the Pencil/Freestyle tool - for the
designer that needs straighter lines and fewer nodes but needs more time
for higher accuracy of the pointer movement
2. a close_path switch for the Pencil/Freestyle and (Curved and Straight)
Path Tool - in case the switch is on, during the creation the object will
be shown (previewed) with a closed path and created as such. (switch should
have a default of on for the Path Tool and off for the Pencil Tool)
3. a attractor variable for the future Curved Path Tool (issue 299) - so
the computer will know to show correctly the preview during the creation
process

this will somewhat change the way the designer thinks and feels the path
creation and in case of point 2 bring it closer to the iconic
representation of the tool
