Re: [svg-paths] Define normalised path

A path with consecutive "M" commands is a valid path.  If you made this
rule then normalized path would render differently from the original.

Section 8.4.1 of SVG2 says:


   - If markers are specified, then a marker is drawn on every applicable
   vertex, even if the given vertex is the end point of a zero-length path
   segment and even if "moveto" commands follow each other.

In addition, an "M" followed by a "Z" is also a valid path.
