overflow: hidden is not respected on <svg> elements

overflow: hidden is specified in the user agent style sheet for <svg>, however this is not respected due to 
the current way in which overflow is handled in WebCore.  Currently overflow clipping is done using a 
layer, however we intentionally make KCanvasContainerQuartz not request layers:
virtual bool requiresLayer() { return false; }
Since we're disallowing the WebCore render tree from making us layers, we need to do our own overflow 
clip.  This is also required for:
http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5966
and there has been some talk (between hyatt and I) of eventually refactoring the overflow code out of the 
RenderLayer to make this eaiser.
