With symbols as blocks and the new "DXF : textes des symboles en
attributs" option (--dxf-attributes on the command line), a symbol's own
texts (its label, function, comment...) are attributes of its INSERT
instead of loose texts, so a CAD program moves them with the symbol and
can list or edit them. Each is written exactly where, and as, the text
was. A text showing an information field is tagged with its name
(LABEL, FUNCTION...), a typed text TEXT1, TEXT2...; a text's second line
gets _2. The block defines each tag once, placed where the first symbol
has it.
Its own option, off by default, because LibreCAD (2.2.1.5) does not
show attributes: the labels would vanish there. AutoCAD shows them.
The text geometry moves into textLines(), shared with the text loop,
so the attributes and the plain texts cannot drift apart.

With "DXF : symboles en blocs" ticked in the export dialog, or
--dxf-blocks on the command line, each symbol definition a folio uses is
written once as a DXF block and every placed symbol as an INSERT of it.
A CAD program then selects, counts and replaces a symbol as one object.
The block is drawn by the same code as a symbol drawn in full, as if
the symbol sat unturned at the folio's origin, which is DXF (0,
sheetHeight): that is the block's base point, so the INSERT carries the
symbol's position and quarter-turn and nothing else. Blocks have to come
before any entity, so the export collects them first and dxfBegin()
writes them in its BLOCKS section. Entities in a block keep their own
layers. Off by default; with it off the file is unchanged.
