Recently, conversions of SVG --> PDF are hit by unstability of
command-line runs of Inkscape under the GNOME session/window manager.
There is an issue ticket at the upstream Inkscape repository [1].
It was closed after a bugfix in glib2, but Fedora 38 has not
received the fix. Furthermore, pre-release Fedora 39, as well as
openSUSE tumbleweed, still has the very similar symptoms.
As a matter of fact, the conversion is properly finished most
of the time when the Inkscape error happened.
So let's add a make variable IGNORE_INKSCAPE_ERROR and ignore error
code from Inkscape when it is enabled. It is enabled by default.
