For path that consists of a series of rectangles (shape is 'mlllhmlllh...'), call paint_path again with each group of 5 points. The result is multiple rects instead of a single curve. fixes pdfminer#369

Describe the bug
When using Excel and Print to PDF function, borders from the generated PDF cannot be converted to HTML output. When converting to XML output, the borders become
<curve>instead of<rect>.It appears that the borders are rendered as a single path and hence it is interpreted as a curve instead of a rect.
To Reproduce
Run
pdf2txt.py -t html output.pdf > output.html.output.pdf
output.html: (some borders are missing)
When converting to xml, the borders become
<curve>instead of<rect>.Expected behavior
output.html: (borders should be shown)
