Add a toggleable Windows 7 (7.css) skin behind a new skin setting

Evaluation branch: a full Aero skin, including frameless windows with our own
title bar, switchable against the existing modern look.

The app already had a four-axis runtime skinning mechanism and zero component
stylesheets, so the skin is one new setting plus one stylesheet section rather
than a parallel UI. The key move is cascade order: 7.css is imported into a
`skin` layer ABOVE Tailwind's `utilities`, so its bare element rules outrank
the ~1900 inline utility classes already in the templates. Template changes are
limited to additive, skin-inert hooks (ARIA roles, `has-scrollbar`,
`w7-toolbar`, `w7-btn`).

- styles.css: explicit layer order, `7.css/dist/7.scoped.css` via `layer(skin)`,
  a token bridge re-pointing the existing semantic tokens at Win7 values (no new
  tokens, so `@theme inline` is untouched), a hand-authored dark Win7 palette,
  and neutralizers that `revert-layer` 7.css's dialog-button metrics back to the
  utility layer. Neutralizers must live inside `skin`, not `skinfix` —
  `revert-layer` only reaches `utilities` from one layer up.
- Frameless chrome: `chromeOptions(skin)` is now the single place either skin's
  frame is decided. `titleBarStyle: "hidden"` on every platform, which is also
  the only way to drop the macOS traffic lights. New `title-bar` component
  mounted by all three window roots.
- Window controls over RPC (minimize/toggle-maximize/close/is-maximized), served
  per window kind so the X reuses each one's existing close path — editors still
  get their dirty prompt. electrobun has no maximize event, so the state is
  derived from `resize`; double-click-to-maximize is implemented here too.
- Font: Noto Sans vendored (OFL-1.1) under ui/src/fonts, since Segoe UI is
  absent off Windows and not redistributable.

Verified: backend `tsc --noEmit` clean, `bun run build:ui` clean (486 kB initial,
under the 500 kB budget), app launches with the skin active and no console
errors. The rendered result has not been eyeballed — screen capture and
accessibility are both denied to the shell on this machine.

Every color used in a template must resolve through `@theme inline`.
- **The win7 skin layer outranks Tailwind utilities.** 7.css is imported
`layer(skin)`, ordered above `utilities`, so any utility you add to a
`button`/`input`/`select`/`textarea`/`table` is silently dead under that
skin. If it matters, neutralize in the `@layer skin` block at the bottom of
styles.css — and note `revert-layer` only reaches `utilities` from **inside
`skin`**; used from `skinfix` it falls back onto 7.css and is a no-op. This
bit once already.
- `@import … layer(name)` works through `@tailwindcss/postcss` (it wraps the
imported AST), but the **deep path is mandatory**: 7.css ships no `exports`
map and Tailwind's resolver reads only `style`/`mainFields`, so a bare
`@import "7.css"` resolves to nothing. Use `7.css/dist/7.scoped.css`.
- Stylesheet `url()` must resolve at BUILD time: assets referenced from
`styles.css` live under `ui/src/` (esbuild emits them hashed into `media/`
and rewrites the url), NOT `ui/public/` — a public path fails the build with
"Could not resolve".

The win7 skin adds a **fourth value to keep in sync**: `buildPreload` also
bakes the `.win7` class, and index.html carries a matching `html.win7` arm
for all four theme states. Miss it and every win7 window flashes white.
- **`titleBarStyle` is construction-time only.** Switching skin cannot
re-frame a live window; `chromeOptions` is read once per `new
