Add custom paths feature

Fixes #143

Add support for custom path generator in `ReactSketchCanvas`.

* Add `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop to `ReactSketchCanvas` component to accept a callback function for custom path generation.
* Pass `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop to `Canvas` component.
* Add `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop to `Canvas` component to accept a callback function for custom path generation.
* Pass `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop to `SvgPath` component.
* Modify `SvgPath` component to use the custom path generator if provided.
* Update documentation in `README.md` to include the new `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop and its usage.
* Add tests in `export.spec.tsx` to verify the functionality of the custom path generator.
