docs: sphinx/kfigure.py: Use inkscape(1) for SVG -> PDF conversion

Using convert(1) of ImageMagick for SVG -> PDF conversion results in
PDFs containing raster (bitmap) images which sometimes look blurry.

Ideally speaking, SVG to PDF conversion should retain vector graphics
in SVG.

rsvg-convert(1) can do such conversions with regard to SVG files
generated by dot(1).

Unfortunately, rsvg-convert(1) does not cover some of SVG features
specific to Inkscape.
inkscape(1) of Inkscape naturally covers such SVG features.

So add a route in svg2pdf() so that inkscape(1) is used when it is
available.

Note:
    After this change, if you have Inkscape installed, ImageMagick nor
    librsvg are not required.
