Object: Reset Bounding Box also squares the objects inside the selection

Reset Bounding Box set the angle to 0 on the selected objects only. A
rotation changes the box angle of the selected objects and of every
object inside them, so the members of a rotated group kept their angle:
after rotating two rectangles 20 degrees, grouping them, rotating the
group 10 degrees and resetting, Ungroup brought back a box at 30
degrees, and a second reset reported 2 objects to change.

The command now also squares every object inside the selected ones: the
children of groups, compound paths, clip groups, blends, envelopes,
repeats and intertwines, and the art of linked opacity masks. The art of
an unlinked mask does not turn with the object, so it keeps its angle.
Ungroup, Release Clipping Mask, Release Compound Path, Blend Expand,
Release Envelope, Release Repeat, Release Intertwine and Release Opacity
Mask then bring back boxes square to the page. The whole reset stays one
undo step.

Two results change. `changed` counts every object reset, the objects
inside included, so the steps above return 3 where they returned 1. A
group whose own box is square but whose members are turned used to
return 0 with no undo step; it now squares the members in one step.

- The History panel menu's Clear History (`edit.clearHistory`) removes every step to undo and to redo and leaves the document as it is; it is not an undo step itself, and it is disabled when there is no step to clear.
- The New Document from State button at the bottom of the History panel (`edit.newDocumentFromState`) makes a new document, which becomes active, from the state the panel has selected ([public source](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/undo-edits-and-manage-design-history.html)). VectorCraft's own rules: the new document takes the next Untitled-N name, is marked unsaved, has nothing selected and has no steps to undo or redo, and the source document and its steps stay as they are.
- The Transform panel menu's Transform Object Only, Transform Pattern Only and Transform Both (`transformPanelPatterns`) choose whether the fields, flips and menu flips of the Transform panel and the Properties panel's Transform section move the object and leave its pattern tiles, move the tiles alone, or both (until a choice they follow General › Transform Pattern Tiles, as before); Use Registration Point for Symbol (`useRegistrationPointForSymbol`) measures and transforms one selected symbol instance from its symbol's registration point, where the instance's flips, rotations and shears put it ([Transform panel overview](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/transform-panel-overview.html); `panels::transform::tests::the_menu_chooses_whether_the_object_its_pattern_or_both_transform`, `use_registration_point_for_symbol_measures_an_instance_from_its_registration_point`, `use_registration_point_for_symbol_follows_a_transformed_instance`, `tests_prefs::transform_panel_patterns_defaults_to_following_the_general_preference`).

- The errors of the parameter checks that many commands share show in the status bar in the interface language: a value that is not a number where a number goes (`object.move` with `"dx": "60 mm"`, and `object.rotate`, `object.setBounds` and the other commands that call `check_numbers`), a missing number or index, `ids` that are not a list of object ids, an object id that is not a non-negative integer or names no object, and a date that is not Unix seconds. Each has a row in every catalog that translates all status and error messages, and in Bulgarian, Danish, Indonesian and Dutch (`shared_param_check_errors_are_translated`).
