Update io.py to add no_basic_shapes option

[vmario89]

Added option in write_svg to write svg:path instead of svg:line, svg:polyline and svg:polygon. You need to set no_basic_shapes to True to write svg:path elements. Else the default behaviour writing basic elements is kept

Thanks for the PR! There are a few change that would be needed before it can merged, though:

• The essence of this feature is to reduce inkscape loading time. This should be benchmarked, but I think a single, monolithic <path> with multiple M commands would be faster than multiple <path> commands
• See my comments in the code.
• Optionally, this PR would include an update to the write command to expose the single_path parameter. I can also deal with that in a separate PR too.
• Tests should be added and obviously linting should be fixed.
