I've added ".svg" as a supported image format for the Scribble HTML
renderer. Scribble generates an `object' tag instead of an `img' tag
for SVG images.


Although it's not directly relevant for you, I've also added `svg-dc%'
to `racket/draw'. Unfortunately, Cairo generates SVG files where the
dimensions are specified as points, which interacts badly with the way
that some browsers seem to interpret `object' dimensions as pixels
(even if "pt" is in the size). Removing the "pt" from the width and
height attributes in the generated SVG avoids the mismatch.
