Fix T101517: GPencil strokes snap to origin in a Scale value is on 0

The problem was the conversion to object space converted the
points to zero.

Now, the new function `zero_axis_bias_m4` is used in order to add
a small bias in the inverse matrix and avoid the zero points.

A known math issue is the stroke can be offsetted if the scale is set to 1 
again. In this case apply the scale to reset to 1.
