Measure the angle between the 3D circle's normal axis dz and the plane representing the 2D DXF drawing. If angle % 180 != 0, print the user warning to the console.

OK, so DXF export only exports 2D sections and (at least currently) it does not do projections like export SVG (the use case for DXF export so far was generating file for laser cutting). It is mentioned in passing in the docstring. I'll add a note to the docs to make it clearer.

From @adam-urbanczyk at #1767 (comment)

Resolve: #1767 .

Measure the angle between the 3D circle's normal axis `dz` and the plane
representing the 2D DXF drawing. If `angle % 180 != 0`, print the user
warning to the console.
