removeEmptyContainers should also remove <use xlink:href="# ">

Maybe removeEmptyContainers should be disabled by default

removeEmptyContainers removes <symbol id="f" overflow="visible"/>, but it does not remove <use width="100%" height="100%" x="319.19" y="575.56" xlink:href="#f"/>, hence in combination with cleanupIDs use will refer to another element

It looks like the visual difference is no longer present (fixed by PR #1817, which prevents the no longer valid id from being reused), but the orphaned <use> is still present, so this issue is now more or less a duplicate of issue #1765.

confirm fix in version 3.2.0
