Add a mode to running stitch that uses randomized phase and stitch length instead of even spacing. This greatly reduces moire effects when stitching closely-spaced curves in running-stitch-based fills.
Add option for randomized running stitch to:
ripple stitch
circular fill
contour fill
guided fill
auto-fill
When is randomization is not selected, ripple stitch will use even running stitch when staggers are set to 0 (default) and the stagger algorithm from guided fill (which does not look nice with a stagger period of 0) when staggers is nonzero.
Also includes fix for satin contour underlays (missing tolerance default) mentioned in #2814. This sets the default tolerance to 0.2mm, which is the largest tolerance guaranteed to be backwards-compatible with existing designs using the default inset of 0.4mm.
Original commits:
* fix satin underlay tolerance default
* Add randomized running stitch, make available in ripple stitch, circular, and contour
* add randomized guided fill
* make ripple stitch use even stitching when not staggering or randomizing.
* add random auto-fill and switch jitter parameter to a percentage (matches satin)
* fix comments

Ink/Stitch: An open source machine embroidery design platform based on Inkscape
Want to design embroidery pattern files (PES, DST, and many more) using free, open source software?
Ink/Stitch aims to be a full-fledged embroidery digitizing platform based entirely on free, open source software. Our goal is to be approachable for hobbyists while also providing the power needed by professional digitizers. We also aim to provide a welcoming open source environment where contributing is fun and easy.

Background and Philosophy
by @lexelby, an Ink/Stitch programmer
I received a really wonderful christmas gift for a geeky programmer hacker: an embroidery machine. It's pretty much a CNC thread-bot... I just had to figure out how to design programs for it. The problem is, all free embroidery design software seemed to be terrible, especially when you add in the requirement of being able to run in Linux, my OS of choice.
I started off hacking on inkscape-embroidery. It had some of the basic capabilities I needed, and I saw a lot of potential. I love the idea of using an existing, ultra-powerful SVG editor as the basis for an embroidery design suite.
Things took off from there. I continued adding features as I needed them, and by this point, very little if any of the original code remains.
The goal of Ink/Stitch is to provide a powerful embroidery digitizing platform for everyone completely free. I want to open up the field of embroidery design, making it approachable even for those who can't spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on software. And I want folks like me, who love to combine code with art, to have an open, extensible, and approachable platform to hack on.
