8309c84a59 M12: XFA rows in areas get their instances, and areas stay out of data paths (#853)
A Designer form whose table (a top-to-bottom subform inside an area of a
positioned page) asks for several rows with `<occur min="10"/>` was laid
out with one row, and a FormCalc total looping over the rows stayed
empty.

- layout: a repeating subform inside a top-to-bottom container in
  positioned content is drawn and measured once per instance (occur and
  data), with its own SOM index, as flowed content already was. One
  `instances` helper now serves flowing, table rows and this case.
- data: areas are named in SOM expressions but are not data scopes.
  `data_path(tpl, som)` leaves them out (unknown segments are kept), and
  layout, the script tree, reading and writing the datasets and the
  engine's value and row operations use it. Before, values Adobe's
  viewers saved were not read, what was filled here went under a new
  element named after the area (which Adobe's viewers would most likely
  not read), and scripts counted the rows there: one, so a loop over
  the table's rows failed on the missing ones.
- write_datasets_with / read_values_with take the parsed template when
  the caller has it (the engine's cached one); the old functions parse
  the document's.
- Tests: layout regression, data_path rules, and an engine round trip
  shaped like such a form (rows, Adobe-written values, a FormCalc total
  over every row, the data written back, reopening).
