New sweep mode for arc command

Rayon now allows users to draw arcs using a sweep angle; this new mode was added to the arc command.

New array command

Rayon now offers a linear array command, allowing users to duplicate any entity multiple times allong a given linear direction. Shortcut AR .

Ability to reorder canvases

Canvases can from now on be reorederd manually, like layers or entitties, direclty in the layer panel.

Library semantic search

Libraries got a much-needed improvement: their search is from now on semantic, meaning that Rayon can find matches to users' keywords that are not exact matches, but rather closeby matches, keywords in other languages than english, or even find results based on the interpretation of users' keywords. This makes lirbrary searching much more effective.
