Specialization images are not respected when rendering elements

Description

Each Archi element has an icon that is displayed in views in the right top corner of a block.
The default icons are always respected at rendering in a way that Archi doesn't render text over the icons.

However, if an element uses a custom specification with an icon, Archi just draws text over it as if there was no image at all.

Here is an example of the same element with the only change in Specialization (same text, same size):

This "small" issue forces users to spend so much time end effort finding the "right" size of a box to convey information conveniently. It looks even worse in generated PDFs.

Expected Behaviour

I think that it would be reasonable to expect that a Specialization icon is rendered in the same way as a default one, and is respected equally.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a custom specification
2. Attach an image icon to it (16x16 icon padded to 24x24 works best. Archi doesn't do padding automatically, not sure if it is an issue or by design)
3. Put an element on a view and set the Specification
4. Resize the element. You'll see how text overlaps with the icon.

Yes, this does need some attention.

The reason why the text bounds adjust to the in-built icon is that it is a known value - always in the top-right position and a fixed size. For user images things are more complicated as there are 9 possible positions for the image and the image can be any size, not necessarily 16x16 or 24x24. To make things even more complicated each figure is different so the exact position needs to be adjusted according to the figure's shape.
