bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 55543da0cb Fix #420: SVG import keeps clipped layers as layers with a clipping mask
A top-level <g id> becomes a layer only when it was plain, so an Inkscape
layer (or our own export of a layer with a clipping mask) carrying a
clip-path came in as a clip group, and a file whose layers were all
clipped to one frame opened as one "Layer 1" of clip groups with the
layer names lost.

A top-level group that does nothing but clip its art (no mask, filter,
opacity or blend) is now a layer too: its clip path becomes the layer's
clipping mask (the clipping path first, as Make Clipping Mask in the
Layers panel leaves it), a clip path clipped in turn nesting a clip
group inside the layer as before. The clip building is shared with clip
groups. Top-level text that joins a clipping layer (before or after it)
isn't in its clip: the mask then becomes a clip group inside the layer
and the text sits beside it. A clip path with no shape leaves the layer
empty.

Tests: the issue's Inkscape layers (names kept, each a clipping layer,
drawn as resvg draws the SVG), a nested clip on a layer, the export ->
import round trip of clipping layers, and text joining clipping layers.
