KenM76andClaude Opus 5.5 ad33ab626e fix(render): a non-isolated knockout group blends its elements with the page under it
A non-isolated knockout group starts from the backdrop under it (ISO 32000-2
§11.4.7, §11.4.8), but was drawn into a layer of its own starting transparent,
so a blend mode inside it had nothing to blend with: white with /BM /Difference
over magenta stayed white (#4886).

Entered plainly (full opacity, no soft mask, Normal, not itself a knockout
element), the group is now drawn once per blend mode its elements use. Each pass
is a knockout layer composited onto the backdrop in that mode; elements of other
modes clear what is under their shape instead of painting. The Normal pass finds
the other modes, so a group without blend modes takes one pass as before.

hayro-interpret patch 67 (Device::begin_knockout_pass / end_knockout_pass,
draw_knockout_passes), hayro patch 26 (the renderer side). Test:
pdfcraft-render it::knockout_backdrop, three cases failing with the fix
reverted, plus an isolated-group control.

Fixes #4886
