Re: [svgwg] overflow="auto" should be treated as hidden rather than visible (#329)

@AmeliaBR The reason that you see the clipping in your test is that you checked on an SVG inline element (block level element with CSS layout). This is treated differently than all the other elements. Even different than inner SVG or SVG root.

The reason why even Chrome clips seems to be the definition here: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#overflow-properties As you can see, `auto` should either be `scroll` or `hidden`.

We could make an exception for SVG inline element, change behavior for all SVG elements to follow CSS Overflow or we leave the current spec text. Either way, it should get into the CSS Overflow spec as well.
