94bfc29b0b Tab stops: edit on the ruler (corner selector, click, drag, drag off) and an inline-edit table in the Tabs dialog (#976)
* Ruler tab stops: corner selector, click to set, drag to move, drag off to clear

The ruler's markers were read-only (double-click opened the Tabs dialog,
click sets (Left, Center, Right, Decimal, Bar; right-click cycles back),
clicking the ruler sets one on the half-division grid (Alt places
freely), dragging moves it with a dashed guide down the page and a
position tooltip, and dragging it off the ruler clears it. Markers draw
per kind, mirrored for right-to-left paragraphs. Each gesture runs
para.tabs once on release, so it is one undo step and inherited-stop
clearing keeps working. Double-click still opens the dialog.

* Tabs dialog: OK applies what the fields show; double-click a stop to edit its position

Selecting a stop, changing its alignment or leader and pressing OK now
applies the change without Set, and a new position typed while a stop
is selected (the dialog preselects the first) is set on OK, so adding a
stop never requires leaving the dialog for the ruler. Double-clicking a
stop in the list edits its position in place: Enter or clicking away
commits (the interface unit by default, any unit spelled out, either
decimal separator), Escape cancels, and the commit moves the stop in
one clear + set, keeping its alignment and leader. Clear still wins
over a re-typed cleared position, and junk input changes nothing.

* Tabs dialog: New button, delete from the list, and the list fills its frame

New stages a fresh stop - deselects, proposes the next free multiple of
the default interval after the last stop (skipping cleared positions),
resets alignment and leader, and focuses the position field - and Set
or OK adds it. Every row gets a small x that clears its stop, and the
Delete key clears the selected one when nothing is being typed; the
selection and an in-progress inline edit follow when a row above them
goes. The list is a fixed 150 pt wide and the rows and scrollbar fill
it, so labels stay left-aligned, the x sits at the frame's edge clear
of the scrollbar, and the scrollbar docks at the edge instead of
floating mid-list.

* Tabs dialog: the stop list is an inline-edit table

Each row edits its stop in place: a unit-aware position field (rows
resort into position order once the edit ends, never mid-typing; two
stops landing on one position merge, the edited row winning), an
alignment dropdown and a leader dropdown (the closed box shows just the
fill), and the x that clears the row. The double-click editor and
move_stop go: the table subsumes them. The selected row keeps an accent
outline, its edits sync the fields below, and the frame widens to fit
the three columns.

* Tabs dialog: the table is the whole editor

New adds a row straight into the table at the next free multiple of
the default interval, selected and ready to edit in place, and the
position field, the Alignment and Leader radio groups and the Set and
Clear buttons go: every one of their jobs is a table cell or the row's
x. What stays is New, Clear All, the default interval, the cleared
list and OK/Cancel, with OK applying the staged diff as one para.tabs
call. The staged-field methods (set, clear, on_ok) go with them.

* Review fixes: safe ruler gestures, one tab tolerance, dialog cleanups

Ruler gestures are primary-button only, a click on an indent marker
places nothing (the markers absorb their clicks), Escape cancels a drag
like a table-border drag (#217), and a drag is stamped with its
paragraph: the caret leaving it mid-drag, or a release the ruler never
saw, abandons the gesture instead of applying it elsewhere or late. The
dragged marker no longer double-draws on its first frame. One
TAB_POS_EPS in the doc layer replaces four hardcoded 0.5s across the
engine, the dialog and the ruler. The dialog's normalize is a no-op
unless a position edit happened, its combos share the ruler's KINDS and
one LEADERS table, dead code and a stale doc comment go, and the
ui-parity revision row moves to the table's top. Regression tests cover
each gesture rule.
