Fixed a pair of bugs in the plot(1/3/5) software for the HP plotter.
One actually wasn't a bug fix, but a workaround for a firmware problem
in the plotter (drawing a circle set the plotter into relative-position
mode, which it shouldn't).  The other was a two-part bug in the placement
of labels:  the labels had a space in front of them, which they shouldn't,
and the first character wasn't centered on the current position.  Easy
fixes once I figured out what was wrong.

Neither of these has been applied to the S hpgl stuff, partly because it
has been shaken down better and possibly doesn't have these problems, and
partly because David's much better acquainted with the innards of S than
I am.
