Effects: Expand Appearance and export give each Transform copy of a gradient path its own gradient (#2490)

A path with a Transform effect that makes copies and a gradient was still merged into one path by bake_leaf and expand_leaf, so the gradient spanned every copy. Route it through reshape / expand_outlined like the renderer does.
