The compiler (gcc 13.2) thinks that `t` could be used uninitialised.
That’s obviously not the case, because there’s always going to be at
least one loop iteration due to the initial values of `t1` and `t2`.
Change the loop to a `do…while` to make that a bit clearer to the
compiler without making any functional changes to the code.

We don't need to have the derivative as a curve,
it is enough for us to compute values of the
derivative at a given t, which we can also do
for conics.
Arcs were appealing, but they have a fatal flaw: we can't
split our arcs without changing the ellipse they trace.
That could be fixed by adding an extra parameter, but then
it is no longer any better than conics.
So switch back to conics, which have the advantage that they
are used elsewhere.
Add a new curve type for elliptical arcs
and use it for rounded rectangles and circles.
We use the 'E' command to represent elliptical
arcs in serialized paths.
This commit adds the basic infrastructure for paths.
The public APIs consists of GskPath, GskPathPoint and
GskPathBuilder.
GskPath is a data structure for paths that consists
of contours, which in turn might contain Bézier curves.
The Bezier data structure is inspired by Skia, with separate
arrays for points and operations. One advantage of this
arrangement is that start and end points are shared
between adjacent curves.
A GskPathPoint represents a point on a path, which can
be queried for various properties.
GskPathBuilder is an auxiliary builder object for paths.
