make-xges: Perform a simplistic conversion of text annotations

[jhenstridge]

Here's a first attempt to get text annotations working. It is enough to get @symptog's presentation to render the text (at about the 50 second mark):

annotations-test2.mp4

... however it has some limitations. Namely it will not wrap long lines to fit the bounding box of the original HTML text. The positioning is not quite the same either, since the SVG text is positioned by the baseline rather than top left of bounding box.

I needed to convert the color CSS property to fill for colour to be applied. It's possible some other properties might need adjusting too.

Chuck it in a repo so we can compare them. It might not be that bad.
