For a linear gradient defined by identical start and end
points, and for a radial gradient with a radius of 0,
the rendered shape should have the color of the last
specified color stop.
The documentation has been updated accordingly.
@Issue: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg/issues/2582
The restriction of the 'length' of a linear gradient
to values greater than FLT_EPSILON was causing rendering
issues in cases where it was a valid gradient with well
defined dx and dy values.
@Issue: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg/issues/2582
deprecate the `identifier()` APIs by replacing them with `type()`.
ThorVG is going to introduce an instance `id()`,
and this could be confused with the `identifier()` methods.
with this new type() method can reduce the memory size
by removing unncessary type data.
New Experimental C APIs:

issue: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg/issues/1372
For gradients with fill spread set as repeat,
the lack of anti-aliasing between the last and
the first color caused noticeable jagged edges.
Interpolation was introduced between them,
visually improving the gradient quality.
Rather than aiming for extremely high accuracy,
a compromise can achieve with better performance.
This modification helps prevent unnecessary image rotation.

sw_engine: radial gradient
[issues 2014: radial gradient](#2014)
Radial gradient results in a corrupted image when the focal point is outside the circle on Apple Silicon.
This happens because some compilers use FMA to optimize the a = dr² - dx² - dy² calculation,
which cause loss of precision.
We rely on temporary variables to prevent FMA.
We could also use compiler specific float contraction control pragmas to avoid this if this doesn't work in the future
