SVGPathElement should not inherit from SVGPathParser

The current design makes it very difficult for things like
SVGAnimateMotionElement to parse paths.  They have to create a heavy-weight
SVGPathElement, when all they want is something capable of parsing a path into
a SVGPathSegList

SVGPathElement is-a SVGPathParser, when it really should have-a SVGPathParser. 
all of the "this->createMoveTo" calls would just change to
"pathCreator->createMoveTo" calls, and the element could be passed into the
SVGPathParser.  There could even be an SVGSegList specific subclass which took
a seglist (or created one and then returned it).  SVGPathSegListPathParser
perhaps?
