Place: Show Import Options asks for each file's import options or uses the last ones

The Place dialog gets a Show Import Options checkbox after Link, Template
and Replace. On (the default, saved with the preferences), each PDF, DXF
or text file asks for its import options before it is placed, also each
file of the place cursor when it is clicked or dragged. Off, each file is
placed with the options last confirmed for its format: the Text Import
Options, the DXF fit, lineweight, centering and layer choices, a PDF's
first page and crop box. An encrypted PDF still asks for its password.

file.place takes showImportOptions (true or false; anything else is an
error). Text Import Options now remembers its options and starts from
them.

   - Placed documents' bitmaps on screen: when a bitmap made in the background is ready, the desktop app renders the canvas again only where the objects that show its file are, when the frame shown was rendered on the UI thread and that part is at most half the canvas. Bitmaps drawn or made since a frame began are kept for that frame past the 512 MiB budget, up to 2 GiB, so a view showing more than the budget does not make them again in every frame. A bitmap that would take them past 2 GiB is not kept, and its file draws exactly at that zoom. A bitmap that can't be made (the file can't be read and there is no preview) shows the light placeholder and is not asked for again. Each ready bitmap used to render the whole canvas again, and bitmaps past the budget and bitmaps that could not be made were asked for again in every frame (`crates/render/src/tests/placed_document.rs`).
   - Linked PDF and `.ai` pages: File › Place with Link (the default) places a page of a PDF, `.ai` or `.ait` file read as PDF pages as a placed document, as it links an image, the page and its box (`crop`) kept with the link: Links check, update and relink it, Break Link and Object › Expand give the group placing it without Link gives, every output draws the page's vectors, and Package copies the file. Without Link, or with a password or `textAs: "outlines"`, the page is embedded. EPS and PostScript `.ai` files are still embedded (`crates/engine/src/tests/placed_document.rs`).
   - File › Place with Bounding Box (`file.place {crop: "bounding"}`) measures the art that shows, with its strokes and effects, as an export does: hidden objects, guides and template layers do not count, a group whose only part on the page or artboard is hidden is not placed, and symbol instances are measured by their art, for `at`, `rect`, the place cursor and `file.place.info` (`crates/engine/src/tests/place.rs`).

On (VectorCraft's default, saved with the preferences), each PDF, DXF or text file asks for its import options before it is placed, also in the place cursor; off (`file.place {showImportOptions: false}`), it is placed with the options last confirmed for its format, and only an encrypted PDF asks, for its password.

   - Separations Preview shows placed and embedded raster images on the visible plates, as it shows vector art (#4153): an RGB image's pixels are separated into process inks with the proof setup's intent, a CMYK image shows its own inks, a hidden plate's ink leaves the image, and with one plate visible the image shows that plate's ink as a grey. Raster images carry no spot ink, so a spot plate shown alone shows them as paper; a colorized image shows its color's plates. Emoji and other bitmap glyphs follow the same rule. The plate-filtered pixels and their reduced-size copies are kept apart from the image's own pixels, for each set of visible plates, proof setup and color settings, and with the preview off nothing changes. Evidence: `tests::colorize::separations_preview_shows_an_rgb_images_process_inks`, `separations_preview_shows_a_cmyk_images_own_inks`, `separations_preview_keeps_an_images_pixels_per_plate_set`. Print preview fidelity remains the open gap, so scores and hours are unchanged.
   - Desktop print transport uses `craft-print` for CUPS and modern Windows. Sheet composition, copies, separations and colour management remain in VectorCraft. The Print dialog's Media list also carries the Japanese papers — JIS B4 257 × 364 mm, JIS B5 182 × 257 mm and JIS B6 128 × 182 mm beside the ISO B4/B5 (250 × 353 and 176 × 250 mm, kept so settings and presets saved before them keep their paper), and はがき 100 × 148 mm, 往復はがき 148 × 200 mm, 封筒 長形3号 120 × 235 mm, 長形4号 90 × 225 mm, 角形2号 240 × 332 mm, 角形3号 216 × 277 mm and 四六判 127 × 188 mm; the JSON id or the dialog label names a paper, any case and spacing (`B5 (JIS)` or `b5jis`) (`crates/pdf/src/print/settings.rs`, `crates/pdf/src/tests/print.rs`). The print-preview and physical-device fidelity gaps remain, so print scores and hours are unchanged.
   - A PDF, PDF-compatible `.ai` or `.ait` opened from its pages or its editing copy opens with the File Info that its XMP packet and its document information dictionary give: the title (`dc:title`, its `x-default` item first, else Info `Title`), the author, description, keywords, copyright status, notice and URL, and the created and modified dates, the XMP packet's value where both give one (`crates/pdf/src/tests/file_info.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests/fileinfo.rs`). An SVG opens with the title of its root `<title>`. The title is File Info's alone (`DocMetadata::title`): the document's name stays the file's name with its extension, a file that gives no title leaves File Info with that name, and exports (PDF, SVG, PNG, EPS, `.ai`) and native saves carry it; changing the title in File Info sets the document's name as before (#3626).
