Issue 349985: Improve dashed/dotted line drawing
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=349985

"

round dots for dotted lines (borders, text decoration) but instead we 
draw squares.

Webkit bug report:
Bug 25737: Dotted borders look different on Safari, Chrome and Firefox

["dotted" should be "a series of round dots"]

[Dotted line means round "dots". It's not a dashed line as rendered in 
WebKit.]
