Brief outline of the proposed feature
Currently it's hard (if not impossible) to set the ratio of x- and y-radii of an ellipse shape.

Discussion:
- Calculations related to ellipse seems to be complex and inexact.
- The problem of precedence of minimum height/widthand aspect keys, as raised in diamond shape: keep aspect when checking against minimum ht/wd #1042, is encountered again.
- Perhaps provide a new shape in order to keep backward compatibility? Considering pgfmanual reads "This shape is an ellipse tightly fitting the text box, ..."
