Mask effects gain groups, stars, partial presets (only some sliders, with or
without Amount), optional brush settings and the settings an imported preset
carries that we can't apply (kept for export). New commands: mask.updateEffect,
renameEffect, duplicateEffect, favoriteEffect, setEffectGroup,
renameEffectGroup, toolEffect; applyEffect takes several masks, all masks, or
the same-named masks on the selected photos in one undo step. A new mask starts
with the effect last applied to a mask of its kind (kept with the library).
Import (mask.importEffects and preset.import): Lightroom Classic local
.lrtemplate, Camera Raw local-correction .xmp, .lceffect and zips of these;
folders and LrC divider presets ("10 ----- DETAIL ----- 10") become groups;
grain / Point Color / toningLuminance reported and kept. Malformed files are
errors, never panics.

Named sets of local adjustment sliders, picked from a new Effect menu
above the mask sliders in the Masking panel (apply sets every slider and
keeps Amount; save current; import; right-click delete; the menu names
the matching effect, else Custom). Saved with the library preferences.
Commands: mask.effects, mask.applyEffect, mask.saveEffect,
mask.deleteEffect, mask.importEffects, mask.exportEffects (.lceffect).
Lightroom local adjustment presets (.lrtemplate with type
LocalizedAdjustmentPreset) are read by mask.importEffects and routed
there by preset.import / File > Import Profiles & Presets, which used to
reject them as having no develop settings. Their lower-camel Local* keys
map through the same table as XMP mask fields (crs_masks::local_values);
sliders without a counterpart (toningLuminance, grain) are reported.
