Node fillet / chamfer tools

[Bug Importer]

fillet tool - in node edit mode a tool which allows one or
more nodes to be selected, then via an interactive
method - either click+drag or spin button (or both as
alternatives) have blend radii applied at them.

Chamfer tool - as above, except chamfers instead of
blends.

see attached gif for example.

to be doable via path effects

This feature would be great, but I would like to add that it would be good if it could also support scallop.

Scallop is a reversed fillet corner.
