changelog=Implemented numerous improvements and fixes to the OS GML to CAD converter. Corrected tile generation by deriving source footprints from anchor layers, reducing output from sixteen tiles to the correct four. Fixed directional flow arrows to match the source data. Improved line styling by preventing non-CartographicText features from being written to text layers, eliminating solid line overdraw that obscured dashed road and path features. Refined dashed line behaviour and changed entities to BYLAYER while preserving curved kerbs and complex geometry as single polylines to maintain CAD usability. Investigated and adjusted traffic calming line duplication.  Confirmed missing roadside posts/bollards correspond to OS feature code 10179 and prepared support for these symbols.
