DYN-7693: Set geom scaling button setting to scale factor of current workspace model

[aparajit-pratap]

Purpose

There's a bug with the geometry scale UI button (in the top-right corner of the canvas) where it doesn't always reflect the correct scale factor setting in a workspace. It can be reproduced specifically on a fresh launch of Dynamo and upon opening a graph with a non-default scale factor setting (other than medium). This PR attempts to fix the issue.

Dynamo.Tests.ExcelTests+DSEvaluationModelTest.TestExcel is failing. I don't believe it's related.

LGTM, would you add a screen shot of the UX diff. I believe the controls on canvas would reflect the scaleFactor better is the change right?

[mjkkirschner]

hey @aparajit-pratap can you explain what this change does to fix the issue? Is it just that we erroneously set the value to the scale factor raw value instead of the log of that value? Also - why do we do this - any idea what the benefit is?

The geometry scale UI button reverts to the default setting every time I open the workflow. Is there a way of saving it with the dyn file. The geometry scale affects some of the functionality like Geometry.Intersect, so it is important to have the correct initial setting.

Is there a way of setting the geometry scale from the API?
