Ignore path constructors that do not begin with m (#749) 
* Ignore path constructors that do not begin with  m

Per PDF Reference Section 4.4.1, "path construction operators may be
invoked in any sequence, but the first one invoked must be m or re to
begin a new subpath." Since pdfminer.six already converts all `re`
(rectangle) operators to their equivelent `mlllh` representation, paths
ingested by `.paint_path(...)` that do not begin with the `m` operator
are invalid.

In addition to the advantage of hewing to the PDF Reference, this change
also avoids the `ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2,
got 1)` error raised by the ` pts = [apply_matrix_pt(self.ctm, pt) for
pt in raw_pts]` line in `converter.py` when parsing PDFs that
(erroneously) include `("h",)` paths.

* Update CHANGELOG.md

We fathom PDF

Pdfminer.six is a community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner. It is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. It focuses on getting and analyzing text data. Pdfminer.six extracts the text from a page directly from the sourcecode of the PDF. It can also be used to get the exact location, font or color of the text.

It is built in a modular way such that each component of pdfminer.six can be replaced easily. You can implement your own interpreter or rendering device that uses the power of pdfminer.six for other purposes than text analysis.

Check out the full documentation on Read the Docs.
