/**
 * Remove DOCTYPE declaration.

 * "Unfortunately the SVG DTDs are a source of so many
 * issues that the SVG WG has decided not to write one
 * for the upcoming SVG 1.2 standard. In fact SVG WG
 * members are even telling people not to use a DOCTYPE
 * declaration in SVG 1.0 and 1.1 documents"
 * https://jwatt.org/svg/authoring/#doctype-declaration
 *
 * @example
 * <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
 * q"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
 *
 * @param {Object} item current iteration item
 * @param {Object} params plugin params
 * @return {Boolean} if false, item will be filtered out
