Issue #29: Import: Move mode with rename and template folders

library.import mode `move` (UI: Transfer ▸ Move, MCP import tool): reuses
Copy's destination, folder organisation (incl. custom templates) and rename
template. Each photo and its XMP sidecars (both namings) are placed without
touching the source (hard link on the same volume, else a new file that is
copied, synced and compared byte for byte; taken names get -1, -2…, never
overwritten). Sources are removed only after the catalog records are
committed and saved, and only when the destination is still intact; failed,
duplicate, unchecked and in-library files keep their sources; sources that
can't be removed are kept and reported (`kept`). Undo removes the catalog
records and leaves the moved files at the destination.
