API change: `is_hidden=True` to draw hidden lines in the DXF file. Borrow the (deprecated) DXF template representing an A3-sized titleblock page from the FreeCAD repository. The FreeCAD authors moved away from text/regex-based template to a native SVG tech-drawing software module. Assume first angle projection. FreeCAD watermark to be modified to CADQuery logo. In the `examples/gen_drawing.py` script, make a generic 3D Part. Apply first angle projections for visible and hidden edges. Inject them to the A3-sized titleblock. Also, populate the titlecard with material mass (estimated from the volume of the part by cadquery), drawing scale, description, and part revision hash via the `git describe` trick.
