Get and set glyph IDs

A previous extension (setIDs.py) is now updated for Inkscape v1.1 with some extra features. This extension is used together with the Custom Stroke Font extension to streamline the process of font creating. There are two extensions; get and setGlyphIDs. The getGlyphIDs will fetch all path ids for the glyphs when editing an existing svg-font. The process of editing the paths frequently mess up the path ids and the order of the paths. Then the fetched IDs (or a custom string input) can be used with the setGlyphIDs when the font template is ready to generate the new svg-font. When using the setGlyphIDs, the individual characters of the string is set as path ids for the glyphs left to right as seen on screen (use one row when generating the font template from Custom Stroke Font).

Known issue: If a glyph have path id " (doublequote) the extension might fail. Temporarly change that path id to something else (f.x. 'temp') and it should work.
