Patch that makes the pdf line thicker

The reason I can't attach my own pdf of the problem is that with some very
helpful advice from the nice people at collabora (Thanks Eloy), I have managed
to solve the problem to my satisfaction.

They suggested drawing a rectangle instead of a line in:
sw/source/core/text/frmpaint.cxx

The attached patch does this with a rectangle width of 32. This works very well
and is very visible on my printer.

I have not submitted the patch for review yet because I am very new to all
this, and I'm not a c++ programmer, so I'm dancing in the dark. 

Also, I think the width of the rectangle (32) should be an option, just as the
position and colour of the line is an option, and that will take a long time
for me to learn how to program.

Also, I don't know if I have introduced any leaks with the tools::Rectangle
construction.

Thank you for your interest in my problem.
A.
