Add option to HorizontalAlignmentCheckIntegrity.xsl report to ignore angular differences for PIs with no curves.

In the InRoads Check Integrity command, the command would report "OK" for any PIs that did not have curves. We would like the ORD check integrity reports to not report issues at a PI if there are no curves present.
