on Python PyPI

Summary: More control over the {left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top} direction that pdfplumber reads/writes text (many thanks to @afriedman412 for the idea and prototype in #1040), plus upgrading to pdfminer.six's latest release (which provides more detailed paths for curves), and some fixes.

Added

• Add {line,char}_dir{,rotated,render} params, to provide better support for non–top-to-bottom, left-to-right text (h/t @afriedman412). (850fd45)
• Add curve["path"] and curve["dash"], thanks to pdfminer.six upgrade (see below). (1820247)

Changed

• Change value of in word["direction"] from {1,-1} to {"ltr","rtl","ttb","btt"}. (850fd45)
• Deprecate vertical_ttb, horizontal_ltr in favor of char_dir and char_dir_rotated.(850fd45)
