Improve handling of arc headings.

We now write curve data that conveys an arc's final heading - the format
is fairly well understood but if this causes any breakage use the temporary
option --no-arc-curves to disable the arc data.

Added --adjust-turn-headings option that, wherever possible, ensures
that turns off to side roads change heading sufficiently so that the
GPS believes that a turn is required rather than a fork. This also avoids
spurious instructions to "keep right/left" when the road doesn't actually
fork.

Added --report-similar-arcs option that will issue a warning if more than
one arc exists between two nodes and the arcs follow similar
(hopefully, identical) paths.
