dxf 12 export includes clips and masks and their clipped and masked objects

Split out from discussion in inbox#3910 (moved)

Steps to reproduce:

  • open clips_and_masks.svg in Inkscape.
    • File includes an ellipse clipped by another ellipse, and an unused clip
    • Also a star masked by another star, and an unused mask (in the shape of an M)
  • export to dxf 12

What happened?

  • all clips, including unused ones are included in the export
  • clipped objects are included too

What should have happened?

  • just the clipped objects should be included (or maybe their clips too, but that doesn't occur in dxf 14 export
