Applies a dash pattern to a geometry, returning a MultiLineStringi
geometry which is the input geometry stroked along each line/ring
with the specified pattern.
Rules can be set to control how the dash pattern is adjusted
at line endings. If a start rule or end rule is set, the adjustment
option defines whether both dash and gaps, or only dash or gap
sizes are adjusted to apply the rules.
An optional pattern offset can specify how far along the pattern
the result should start at.
(The offset is applied AFTER any start/end rules are applied.)

Just like the 'rotate' function, 'scale' accepts an optional point
to apply the scaling from. If not specified, scaling is done
from the centre of the geometry's bounding box.

The new expression functions are:
- triangular_wave: Constructs triangular waves along the boundary of a geometry.
- square_wave: Constructs square/rectangular waves along the boundary of a geometry
- wave: Constructs rounded (sine-like) waves along the boundary of a geometry
- triangular_wave_randomized: Constructs randomized triangular waves along the boundary of a geometry
- square_wave_randomized: Constructs randomized square/rectangular waves along the boundary of a geometry.
- wave_randomized: Constructs randomized curved (sine-like) waves along the boundary of a geometry

Added explanation what this new expression actually calculates, based on help coded in /src/core/geometry/qgscurve.h
Also streamlined noted requirement that needs to be applied to a curve.
Added description of what syntax/parsing engine is used for the formatting. Motivated by https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/42806, but in general a good idea so users can look up more in detail what is possible. Also uniformized spelling (placeholder vs placeholder).
