Regression on <?xml> header removal for SVG output

Describe the bug This post on forum.plantuml.net says we remove the <?xml> header from the SVG output, but this feature is not actually the default behaviour for simple diagrams that output as SVG. For it to be removed, there needed to be (at least) an "image" embedded into the diagram. This would be reverted in a later commit, reverting the <?xml> header removal (in all SVG outputs). Later again, the removal was reverted because of a security patch was implemented and the default PLANTUML_SECURITY_PROFILE would prevent the image from being loaded (thus preventing the header from being removed), but the header removal was possible again using (at least) the PLANTUML_SECURITY_PROFILE=UNSECURE flag. More specific information below in the To reproduce section.

Proposed solution Place removeXmlHeader() where it will be run independent if the diagram has embeded images or not.

Current: https://github.com/plantuml/plantuml/blob/81e7e76c5083aebb1866e401fb7c40e0b9f26bc6/src/net/sourceforge/plantuml/klimt/drawing/svg/SvgGraphics.java#L651-L665

Proposed solution:

public void createXml(OutputStream os) throws TransformerException, IOException {
    final ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    createXmlInternal(baos);
    String s = new String(baos.toByteArray());

    if (images.size() > 0) {
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> ent : images.entrySet()) {
            final String k = "<" + ent.getKey() + "/>";
            s = s.replace(k, ent.getValue());
        }
    }

    s = removeXmlHeader(s);
    os.write(s.getBytes());
}

To Reproduce I've created this repository for reproduction.

Since the forum post says the feature was implemented on version 1.2020.20beta14 I tried running tests on version 1.2020.21 (downloaded from sourceforge). This one is the important commit for this specific version for our issue. It is when the removeXmlHeader() was created on SvgGraphics.java.
The <?xml> header removal would later be disabled on this commit. It's also when apparently data:image/svg+xml;base64 image-embedding was introduced, with the SecurityProfile.UNSECURE and SecurityUtils.ALLOWLIST_LOCAL_PATHS appearing. Per GitHub releases page, this would impact versions 1.2022.5 and 1.2022.6.
For version 1.2022.7, this commit would revert back the <?xml> header removal but would also again restrict it to only when there was an image on the diagram but also only remove it if run with the PLANTUML_SECURITY_PROFILE=UNSECURE flag. This is still the current behaviour (tested with version 1.2024.4), the source file just moved from plantuml/src/net/sourceforge/plantuml/svg/SvgGraphics.java to plantuml/src/net/sourceforge/plantuml/klimt/drawing/svg/SvgGraphics.java.

Expected behavior To remove <?xml> header declaration on all SVG output.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10 (10.0.19045)
Versions (PlantUML?):
- 1.2020.21 (removes header, if has image)
- 1.2022.6 (does not remove, ever)
- 1.2024.4 (removes header, if has image and flag)

Additional context I landed on this bug because SVG output images from PlantUML would not display in QOwnNotes on Windows. I managed to narrow it down to the encoding (PlantUML now uses us-ascii instead of UTF-8 since version 1.2023.2 based on this forum post and the specific commit). I suspect it is an encoding conflict between the embedded SVG content and the (Qt) browser engine used by QOwnNotes. Since this issue report is to remove the <?xml> header declaration, this would solve that issue too (and probably others that embed the SVG output into documents).
