Place: Placement Options clip a DCS image inside its file's clipping path

Browse Source 
When links.update or links.relink re-read a DCS file and Placement
Options also clipped the image (Fill with Clip, or an aspect change
that overflows), the placement rectangle replaced the file's clipping
path, so plate art outside that path showed and printed.

The file's clip group now stays around the image and the placement's
clip goes in a clip group around it. The clip group holding just the
file's group takes that clip, as one holding just an image does today,
else a new one does, so later updates reuse the same two groups. A
file that loses its clipping path leaves its group as a plain group
inside the placement's clip. The same applies in symbols, graph
designs, patterns and opacity masks.

even-odd fill rule stays as it is). The link shows as modified when a plate file of its own changes
