#1290: choose what opens at launch, the last library or a list of recent ones

Browse Source 
Settings > General > At launch: Open the last library (default, as before)
or Ask me. With Ask me the desktop app opens nothing and the library-problem
window lists the recent libraries instead (name, folder, when last opened;
missing, locked or no-longer-library ones greyed out with the reason; the
last one selected): Open, Open Another..., New Library..., Remove from List,
Quit, with arrows / Return / Esc. Alt/Option held in the first 2 s after the
window appears shows the same list once over the library that opened (winit
reports no modifiers before the first frame; macOS only on a change).

File > Open Recent Library > Remove from List and
app.recentLibraries {remove: path} forget one entry; nothing on disk is
touched. The list reports lastOpened, kept under a new settings key
(recentLibrariesOpened) so older files and versions keep their list.

--library and LIGHTCRAFT_LIBRARY keep priority (launch_plan), --memory never
asks, lightcraft-cli never reads ui.json. Settings are saved while the list
shows; command-line files go into whichever library opens.

### Choosing the library at launch
With Settings ▸ General ▸ At launch set to Ask me (`ui.set {"settings": {"atLaunch": "ask"}}`; `"last"`, the
default, opens the last library), or Alt/Option held during the first 2 s after the window appears, the desktop app
shows a window listing the recent libraries (issue #1290). `--library` and `LIGHTCRAFT_LIBRARY` skip it, and so does
`--memory`; `lightcraft-cli` never shows it. `ui.inspect` → `libraryProblem.chooser` is `{libraries: [{path,
lastOpened, available, reason}], selected, libraryOpen}` (else `null`; `libraryOpen: true` when it was opened over
the last library with Alt). Each row is the widget `libraryRecent:<index>`; the buttons are `button:libraryOpen`,
`button:libraryOpenAnother` (the folder dialog of `app.openLibrary`), `button:libraryNew` (`app.newLibrary`),
`button:libraryForget` (Remove from List) and `button:libraryQuit`; `ui.key` ArrowUp / ArrowDown move the selection,
Enter opens it and Escape quits (over an open library: closes the window and keeps it). `app.openLibrary {path}`
opening a library ends it. While it shows, the settings are saved as usual (a removal is kept).
`app.recentLibraries` returns `[{path, name, exists, open, lastOpened}]` (`lastOpened`: ISO 8601, `null` when not
known; kept in `ui.json` → `settings.recentLibrariesOpened`). `{remove: path}` forgets one entry (an error if the list
doesn't hold it) and `{clear: true}` (or `app.clearRecentLibraries`) all of them; nothing on disk is touched.
### Open Library on a Lightroom catalog
`app.openLibrary` never makes a LightCraft library inside a Lightroom Classic catalog (issue #891): given the catalog
