bugfix [#19525] Curve modifier moves mesh geometry first
more of a request then a bug but shows up a strange limitation with curve deform modifier,
The mesh bounding box would set the deform axis start/end to map the deformation of the curve to. This means it ignored offset in the object location and object data location (you could use a dummy vertex to trick it).

Old files wont change, added an option (next to stretch), called 'Bounds Clamp', old files have this behavior but newly made curves have it disabled.
Double checked this gives useful results with stretch on/off and negative axis.
