Curves: add taper mode option

Currently, when a taper object is specified, the radius of the spline is
ignored. This patch adds a new option to control how the taper object
affect the effective radius of the spline. The option allow three modes
of operation:

- Override: The old method. The radius of the spline is ignored and
  overridden.
- Multiply: The radius of the spline is multiplied by the taper radius.
- Add: The radius of the spline is added to the taper radius.
