#788: file.place frames an SVG by its viewBox when crop is given

Placing an SVG fitted and centred it by its art's bounds whatever `crop`
said, so art drawn on a shared canvas lost its place and scale, and
`crop: "crop"` and `crop: "bounding"` gave the same result without a
warning. With `crop: "crop"` given, an SVG is now framed and clipped by
its viewBox (its artboard, as File › Open has it), as a PDF is by its
page: `rect` and `at` fit and centre that frame. By default, as
Illustrator places an SVG, and with "bounding", it is still its art's
bounds.
