SVGNumberList: insertItemBefore() method

The insertItemBefore() method of the SVGNumberList interface inserts a new item into the list at the specified position. The first item is indexed 0. The inserted item is the item itself and not a copy.

• If the new item is already in a list, it is removed from its previous list before it is inserted into this list.
• If the item is already in this list, note that the index of the item to insert before is before the removal of the item.
• If the index is equal to 0, then the new item is inserted at the front of the list.
• If the index is greater than or equal to the length, then the new item is appended to the end of the list.
