Contextual Task Bar: direct-selected anchors offer Connect, Corner and Smooth

With anchor points selected with Direct Selection, the Contextual Task
Bar's anchor items were Remove Anchor Points and Cut Path. The
reference app's bar also offers to connect the selected end points and
to convert the selected anchors to corner or smooth.

The bar now offers Remove Anchor Points, Connect, Cut Path, Corner and
Smooth. Connect runs Join (path.join), and Corner and Smooth run
path.convertAnchors with `to` set to corner or smooth. These are the
commands of the Control bar's anchor buttons. "Connect" has a row in
every catalog; "Corner" and "Smooth" use the existing rows.

The reference app's Smooth item, which adjusts a path's curvature, is not
offered, because VectorCraft has no Object > Path > Smooth. Simplify,
which the reference app's bar also offers here, is still offered only
while no anchors are selected.

   - The contextual task bar's handle drags it anywhere on the canvas (kept whole on it as the window resizes); unpinned it keeps that offset as it follows the selection, and its More Options menu hides it, pins its position across selection changes (`window.taskBar.pin`), resets it under the selection (`window.taskBar.reset`) and shows the Properties panel. As in Illustrator the position isn't kept across launches. Not done: the bar's variants for other tools (only the selection tools and the Artboard tool show it).
   - With one image selected, the contextual task bar offers Image Trace, which traces the image at once with the Default preset (the Image Trace panel is left as it was), and Crop Image; with an Image Trace object it offers Expand, which keeps only the traced paths. As in Illustrator ("Selecting images displays options like Image Trace, Retype, and Crop Image"; "You can also quickly expand traced artwork from the bar": [Contextual Task Bar announcement](https://community.adobe.com/announcements-651/contextual-task-bar-in-illustrator-2025-quick-actions-when-you-need-them-1546580)). Offset Path and Simplify, which don't apply to an image, aren't offered for one. Not done: Retype, which the app doesn't have.
   - With the Artboard tool, the contextual task bar sits under the selected artboards and offers Resize (Artboard Options for the active artboard), Duplicate (each selected artboard, in one undo step, the copies then selected), Rearrange All (with two or more artboards) and Export (Export for Screens with the selected artboards checked). As in Illustrator ("the Contextual Task Bar reveals options to resize, duplicate, and export artboards": the [Contextual Task Bar announcement](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/contextual-task-bar-in-illustrator-2025-quick-actions-when-you-need-them-1546580); Rearrange and Export on the bar: [Managing Artboards in Illustrator](https://creativepro.com/managing-artboards-in-illustrator/)).

As in Illustrator ("Remove selected anchor points, Connect selected end points, Cut path at selected anchor points, Convert selected anchor points to corner, and Convert selected anchor points to smooth": [Contextual Task Bar overview](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/contextual-task-bar-overview.html)). Not done: Simplify, which the bar offers only while no anchors are selected, and the bar's Smooth item that adjusts a path's curvature, a command the app doesn't have (Object › Path › Smooth).
   - Tool flyouts tear off: dragging or clicking the tear-off bar on a flyout's right side (or releasing the long press over it) floats its group as a strip of tool buttons, moved by the same bar and put back in the toolbar by the × at its top (`window.floatTools`). While a group floats, the presses that would open its flyout raise the strip instead. Floating strips are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces. Not done: turning a strip vertical, docking it.
   - Screen readers get a name for the Tools panel's tool buttons, flyout rows, floating strips and tear-off bars, and for the icon buttons, text buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs, chips, sliders, angle dials and combo boxes that panels and dialogs draw with `crates/ui-egui/src/widgets.rs`: the text, label or tool tip each one shows, or a name of its own where it shows none (the angle dial, the spinner, the preset arrow, the color wheel and the Reference Point's squares). The tool buttons, toggles, checkboxes, radio buttons, tabs and the Reference Point's nine squares also report whether they are on, an icon button that is lit, such as the chosen Align To button, reports that it is pressed, and the angle dial reports its angle. The status bar's First, Previous, Next and Last Artboard buttons have tool tips.
   - Panels undock (#495): a dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of the dock floats that panel inside the window, and the strip right of the dock's tabs floats the whole tabbed group. A floating group moves by its title bar, a tab dragged out of it floats on its own, and dropped on another group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they live (the tabbed group or the icon column), as its × and the panel menus' Float Panel / Dock Panel do (`window.panel.float`, `window.panel.dock`). The Tools panel floats by its title bar and docks again on the window's left edge. Floating groups stack into sets: dropped on the upper or lower half of another group (a line shows where), a group joins it right above or below it, and the set's groups stack top to bottom, each showing one panel, moving together by the top group's title bar, whose × docks them all; a group dragged by its tab strip leaves the set (`window.panel.float {below, above}`). A double-click on a tab collapses a floating group to its tabs (`collapsed`). Sets dropped on the left edge of the icon column or of another dock column dock as dock columns (a multi-column dock, `window.panel.dock {column}`), whose groups stack, tab and tear out as a floating set's do, and whose top strip floats the column again. Floating panels, their sets and the Tools panel's position are kept with the preferences and in user workspaces, and clamped into a smaller window. Not done: panels in separate OS windows, docking a panel into the default tabbed group it doesn't belong to, reordering tabs by dragging, collapsing a set or dock column to icons, dock columns right of the default dock, resizing floating panels and the groups of a set.
