⇧⌘N opens the New Layer dialog, as Layer › New › Layer… does in Photoshop.
Photoshop's companion shortcut, the same keys with ⌥ (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N on
Windows and Linux), makes the layer at once; PhotoCraft didn't handle it,
so there was no way to get 0.7.0's dialog-free behaviour from the keyboard.
New Layer's shortcut with ⌥ added now runs layer.new.layer directly. It
follows a rebound New Layer shortcut, and a command bound to that key
itself keeps it.

* Layers: clip groups follow New Layer, Arrange, Reorder and Delete (#2203)
Adding, moving or deleting layers never touched Layer::clipped, so a
new layer above a clipping base split its group and became the base of
the layers clipped above it, and moving or deleting a base left its
clipped layers clipping to whatever ended up below them.
The new clip_group module applies Photoshop's rules, measured on #2203:
a layer added or moved joins the clip group it lands in; a clipped
layer moved stays clipped while it still sits on a clip group; the
layers clipped to a base that moves away or is deleted are released;
and a clipped run left with nothing below it is released. They are
applied by layer.new.layer (new clipToPrevious param, Photoshop's Use
Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask), layer.arrange.*, layer.moveTo
(Layers panel drags, batches and ⌥-drag copies) and layer.delete.

* Layers: the New Layer dialog (Layer › New › Layer…, ⇧⌘N)
Layer › New › Layer… made a layer straight away. It now opens
Photoshop's New Layer dialog: Name (focused and selected), Use Previous
Layer to Create Clipping Mask, Color, Mode, Opacity, and Fill with
<mode>-neutral color, greyed out with "(No neutral color exists for
<mode> mode.)" for modes that have none. OK makes the layer in one
history step.
layer.new.layer gains mode, opacity, color and fillNeutral params
(new engine module new_layer.rs) beside clipToPrevious. The neutral
colors (white for the darkening modes and Divide, black for the
lightening and difference modes, 50% gray for the light modes) are
checked by compositing at 8, 16 and 32 bits.
As in Photoshop, the Layers panel's New Layer button still makes a
layer at once and ⌥-click opens the dialog; commands with params
(automation, Actions, MCP) never show it.
