dotCooCoo 0629d4e9a5 Image Trace: Overlapping layers reach only under areas that hold their own color
With Method Overlapping, each color layer covered every pixel of the colors
above it in the stack. A small dot or square on a background was then traced
once in its own color and again, at the same bounds, in every color between
the background and it, and with Shapes on each copy became its own live shape.
Those layers also ended on edges they never touched and showed through the
anti-aliased rim there.

Each layer now leaves out every 4-connected part of its stacked area that holds
no pixel of its own color. This changes the result of many Overlapping traces,
the photo presets included: fewer paths (High Fidelity Photo 121 to 69.6 on its
own quality inputs, Low Fidelity Photo 37.1 to 26.1) and no rim, around a
shape, of a color that sits apart from it. One existing test that counted the
extra copies now expects one layer per area, and another that compared layer
pixel counts now checks that the bottom layer covers the whole image.
