Bridges a feature gap in the QGIS Print Layout engine by introducing two new layout item types:

* Curved Spline Text -- flows rich/HTML text along an editable, draggable editable cubic Bezier curve instead of a straight baseline.
* Polygon Shaped Text Box -- wraps rich/HTML text to fit exactly inside an editable, draggable closed polygon outline with straight or cubic Bezier edges instead of a rectangle.

Both items support "Allow HTML Formatting" rich text (bold, italic, colour spans, etc.) and automatic evaluation of QGIS expressions written as [% ... %], exactly like the native Add Label item.

Requires QGIS 3.44 or later. The same codebase supports QGIS 3.44 LTR (PyQt5/Qt5) and QGIS 4.x (PyQt6/Qt6).
