Subject: G7: a moving pane casts a shadow, a retargeted move keeps its speed,
 a dissolve crossfades

- Track.launch: a move retargeted mid-way (Presentation.sync) starts at
  the old move's speed along the new one's longest side (carriedLaunch,
  Motion.easeFrom/speedFrom), so a second change during a slide bends the
  motion instead of stopping it dead. The macOS track ABI grows the float
  (pardes.h, 48 bytes; its reserved byte is named motion, as in Zig).
- A pane that slides, zooms or rises casts Lift's soft shadow at
  sin(pi x progress) of its strength, on the other panes' bodies and
  rails alone, under the same contrast ceiling, carried by its track.
- The GUI's PanelDissolve is a crossfade: the new cell drawn first, the
  old one over it at 1 - progress, premultiplied, on the blending cell
  pipeline for such groups (new cells now emitted before old ones, as the
  old layers already came after the new). sRGB blend, not linear light
  (documented). The tty keeps its per-cell swap.

Presentation.zig's and animation.zig's tests were not in any test root;
pardes.zig's test block now takes them in.

Tests: a retargeted move carries its speed and still lands exactly; a
moving pane's shadow is clipped off every tag, grip and its own body,
none at the start or the landing, most mid-way. GUI golden 18 changes by
the shadow (frame 6 of a slide). Gates as G6. Feel review:
