* DWG: write AutoCAD's drawing variable dictionary (fixes #1813)

A 2004 (AC1018) DWG of a drawing without an AcDbVariableDictionary is read as
empty by Vectric Aspire 10.5, though the same drawing as DXF imports. AutoCAD
always writes the dictionary; CADCraft's and ezdxf's DXF writers don't.

The DWG bridge now adds it, with AutoCAD's usual variables, when the drawing
has none, for DWG versions before 2018 (AC1032 output reads fine without it).
A dictionary the drawing already has keeps its entries and values.

* docs: document the functions touched by #1813

* DWG: keep the drawing's DIMASSOC and HIDETEXT in the variable dictionary
