Make a pinch zoom the grid and nothing else

Two faults left over from making the gesture reach the grid at all.

**It still opened photographs.** Checking the finger id stops the
synthetic release Slint emits when the *second* finger lands, but not the
other end of the gesture: lifting one finger of two leaves the other one
down, and Slint replays that survivor as a fresh `Pressed` on whatever is
under it — which is how it hands the pointer back to ordinary handling.
Under it is a cell. So the cell was selected, and lifting that last finger
was a complete, well-formed click on the same finger that pressed. No
part of the event stream distinguishes it from a real tap, so the grid now
remembers that a pinch just happened: a latch raised when the gesture
starts and lowered a beat after it ends, during which cells take neither
presses nor clicks.

The press that *opens* a pinch is undone rather than suppressed — it has
already happened by the time a second finger makes it a pinch. Undoing it
has to be exact, or a cancel that restored the selection but left the
anchor moved would make the next shift-click select a run from a cell
nobody pointed at, so capture and restore are a tested pair.

**And it was not smooth.** Two reasons. The pinch was thresholded into ±1
steps of 25%, so the grid lurched and then sat still; it now takes the
ratio since the last update and tracks the fingers, with the drawn cell
still landing on whole column counts because the columns divide the
width. And `zoom-cells` was the one geometry change still reloading
inline — a full catalog re-read, 360-row model rebuild and thumbnail
batch per step, on the thread drawing the frame. It goes through the same
settle timer as the rest now.
