fix(ui): hide layer when previewing filter

Previously, when previewing a filter on a layer with some transparency or a filter that changes the alpha, the preview was rendered on top of the layer. The preview blended with the layer, which isn't right.

In this change, the layer is hidden during the preview, and when the filter finishes (having been applied or canceled - the two possible paths), the layer is shown.

Technically, we are hiding and showing the layer's object renderer's konva group, which contains the layer's "real" data.

Another small change was made to prevent a flash of empty layer, by waiting to destroy a previous filter preview image until the new preview image is ready to display.
