Fix: import of metadata-less exports — file date as capture date, in-source copies not "already in the library", Grid Info from Photo Grid

- Files with no capture date in their metadata or sidecar (e.g. exports saved without
  metadata) take the file's modification time, as Lightroom does, instead of all landing
  under "Unknown Date" (the loupe overlay showed the import date for them). The import
  review and its folder/rename templates use the same date.
- The import review counted files with the same bytes as another file in the source as
  "already in the library" (8 on a brand-new, empty library); they are now shown apart as
  "identical copies".
- View > Grid Info captions are drawn on Square Grid only; choosing one from Photo Grid now
  switches to Square Grid instead of seeming to do nothing.
