Changed the Package-Requires statement to ((svg "1.0") (emacs "27.0")).

Next step would be to increase the package version of svg-clock from 1.1
to 1.2 to trigger deployment of the modified version.  But this new
version would be visible only for emacs 27 (and up) iiuc.  Emacs<26
users would still see the broken version.

Shall we create and deploy a 1.1a (or something) that makes svg-clock
usable again for emacsen before 27?
