Bug Description

In the XML editor, there is a tree view of all the containing tags. For "layers", these are shown as their XML <svg:g ...> tag, with the tag's ID shown to distinguish them.

<svg:svg ...>
   <svg:g id="layer13">
   <svg:g id="layer14">
   <svg:g id="layer15">

However, it would be very helpful for this tree view to *also* show the user's labels for this particular tag type if they exist. Since renaming layers affects the label but not the id, it is the most clear way to identify each <g> tag.

<svg:svg ...>
   <svg:g id="layer13" inkscape:label="Ink Outlines">
   <svg:g id="layer14" inkscape:label="Coloring">
   <svg:g id="layer15" inkscape:label="Shading">
