Subject: [PATCH] Revolve: a face drawn on its own keeps its fill or stroke's
 opacity and blending mode

A face of a group member that paints nothing (its fill or stroke at 0% opacity) was drawn without a group, so its zero opacity was lost and the member drew fully opaque. Such a face now keeps a group with the opacity and blending mode of its fill or stroke.
