Generates html for the "dash" displayed on the legend when using "legend: always".
In particular, this works for dashed lines with any stroke pattern. It will
try to scale the pattern to fit in 1em width. Or if small enough repeat the
pattern for 1em width.

@param strokePattern The pattern
@param color The color of the series.
@param oneEmWidth The width in pixels of 1em in the legend.
