Part of #394: Preferences for snapping, handles, rubber bands, pattern tiles, tints and type

Fourteen more Preferences options that were stored but read by nothing now
act, for the mouse and for agents (prefs.set, then pointer_gesture,
press_key or the commands):

- Selection & Anchor Display: Snap to Point and its distance (with Smart
  Guides off, View > Snap to Point lands a dragged selection's grabbed
  point, drawn points and reference points on anchors and ruler guides);
  Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard (artboard.move, the Artboard
  tool and Rearrange; off, hidden art now stays too); Enable Rubber Band for
  the Pen and Curvature tools; Handles (solid, hollow, large);
  Show handles when multiple anchors are selected (canvas and Direct
  Selection's handle picking); Hide Corner Widget for angles greater than.
- General: Transform Pattern Tiles is the default of a new `patterns`
  param on object.transform/move/rotate/scale/reflect/shear/transformEach
  (journalled when the art uses a pattern), and the transform dialogs get a
  Transform Patterns checkbox; Select Same Tint % (off, Select > Same
  Fill/Stroke Color takes every tint of a global or spot swatch).
- Type: new type.step {attribute, by} steps size, leading, tracking, kerning
  and baseline shift by the Size/Leading, Tracking and Baseline Shift
  increments; Increase/Decrease Font Size (Cmd+Shift+. and Cmd+Shift+,);
  the Type tool's Alt+arrows (kerning at a caret or tracking, leading,
  Shift for baseline shift, Cmd/Ctrl for five steps). Enable Missing Glyph
  Protection keeps characters a new font lacks in the font that had them
  (text.setStyle, text.setRangeStyle). Fill New Type Objects With
  Placeholder Text: type the Type tools place starts with placeholder text,
  selected (text.create / text.createInPath take `placeholder`).

Units > General, Stroke and Type were already the single source of truth
(units.rs). Auto Size New Area Type, Show Font Names in English and
Highlight Alternate Glyphs need subsystems the app doesn't have yet and
stay open with the rest of #394.

   - Dialogs open with their first field focused and its value selected: type a value and press Enter (Move, Rotate, Scale…). Number fields in panels and dialogs step with Up/Down (Shift: ten, Ctrl/Cmd: a tenth of their unit), applied at once.
   - Tab shows and hides the panels (in the Type tool it types a tab) without moving the keyboard focus onto a field, so the next shortcut or letter still works; in dialogs and panel fields it moves between fields.
   - Cmd/Ctrl+A follows the keyboard: in a panel, dialog or search field it selects the field's text, while the Type tool edits it selects all of that text (also `select.all` over MCP), and only otherwise every object. On macOS the menu bar's Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste (keys or clicks) act on a focused field too. Not yet: Select All across threaded frames (one frame's text is selected).
