Shaper: an arrow widget switches a Shaper Group between Face Selection and Construction mode

Browse Source 
A Shaper Group had no arrow widget for switching between Face Selection
and Construction mode.

With the Shaper or Selection tool active, a selected Shaper Group, or a
group with one of its faces selected, now shows an arrow beside the
middle of the right side of its source shapes' bounds. A click on it
isolates the source shapes (object.isolate). A second click leaves
isolation with the group selected (object.exitIsolation). The arrow
points right in Face Selection mode and left in Construction mode.

In Construction mode a Shaper click selects an original shape of the
isolated group. Before, it selected the whole group outside the
isolation, and shaper.select with source could pick an original of
another Shaper Group lying above it.

@@ -11,8 +11,10 @@ Scribble over overlapping paths to make an editable Shaper Group:
Click once to select the group; click again to select its visible fill and change its color. Double-click with Shaper to enter construction editing and select an original shape. The Selection tool then moves or resizes it normally, and the visible composition updates. Escape leaves construction editing. The original live shapes and edit recipes survive native save/reopen. Outside construction editing, selection highlights and bounds show only the visible result.
While the group or one of its faces is selected (Face Selection mode) and the Shaper or Selection tool is active, an arrow widget sits beside the middle of the right side of the original shapes’ bounds. Click it to enter Construction mode: the original shapes are isolated and nothing is selected, and a click with Shaper selects the group’s original shape under the pointer. Click the widget again to leave Construction mode with the group selected. The arrow points right in Face Selection mode and left in Construction mode.
Object › Shaper › Release restores the original paths. Expand keeps the visible result as ordinary paths. Each scribble and source edit records one undo step. Sources in a composition must share a parent layer/group; Shaper limits a composition to 64 source paths and 4,096 segments.
The construction-mode arrow widget and finer gesture heuristics remain to be implemented.
Finer gesture heuristics remain to be implemented.
