Export: an HP-GL plot of the art's bounds leaves out images in symbol art

Browse Source 
The bounds of a plot of the art's bounds no longer count the objects a
plot leaves out (placed images, objects at 0% opacity, unpainted paths)
when they sit in the art of a symbol. An instance whose symbol holds
nothing else is left out, so a document with only such instances is
refused with "nothing to export". The art of a dynamic symbol, and of a
group with effects, fills or strokes of its own, is measured whole.

(unless `includeNonPrinting` or `createLayers` keeps them; a `.ai` file keeps layers by default). An HP-GL plot of the
art's bounds is measured without what the plot leaves out: non-printing layers, objects at 0% opacity, placed images,
gradient meshes whose every point is at 0% opacity, and paths without effects whose fills and strokes paint nothing.
Such objects in the art of a symbol that is not dynamic are left out of its instances too, and an instance whose
symbol holds nothing else is left out.
A document whose only visible art is left out is refused, and Export As refuses an HP-GL plot of it before the save
dialog. A PDF of that page, from either command, carries no Preserve Editing data; when Preserve Editing is on (as it
is in VectorCraft Default), the export comes back with a warning that says so. A `.ai` export with
