Documented tikz option dvisvgm is not supported

[muzimuzhi]

Brief outline of the bug

Current state:

• In sec. 10.2.4 "Producing SVG Output", the pgfmanual reads

  If the option dvisvgm is given to the tikz package, this driver gets selected (normally, the driver selected by graphics would be used).

• But tikz.sty declares no options.
• As a package option, dvisvgm is only known to pgfsys.sty.
  

  pgf/tex/latex/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys.sty

  Line 12 in 6e5fd71

  \DeclareOption{dvisvgm}{\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvisvgm.def}}

• Hence currently to use dvisvgm driver (for tikz or pgf LaTeX package), one has to either defining \def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvisvgm.def} or using it as a class option. (LaTeX packages won't throw errors for unknown global/class options.)

Some history:

• Commit 10624dc (*** empty log message ***, 2013-08-23) added package option dvisvgm for pgf.sty and the corresponding doc mentioned above. (Yes, the option was added to pgf.sty, but documented for tikz.sty.)
• Commit ab8bbb5 (fixed Vertex.lua anchoring problem, 2013-12-18) moved option dvisvgm from pgf.sty to pgfsys.sty.

Proposal:

• Add tikz package option dvisvgm (how to treat the same option in pgfsys?)
• Revise related doc since graphicx package now supports dvisvgm driver (hence \PassOptionsToPackage{dvisvgm}{graphicx} is another possibility).

Minimal working example (MWE)

% !TeX program = latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvisvgm]{tikz}

\begin{document}
\end{document}

• Add tikz package option dvisvgm (how to treat the same option in pgfsys?)

One possibility is to add dummy option dvisvgm to both tikz.sty and pgf.sty.

\DeclareOption{dvisvgm}{} % will be used later in pgfsys.sty

\ProcessOptions % tikz.sty needs this
