Give the selection one bar instead of two ends of the window

"What can I do with these twelve photographs?" was answered in two
places. Six buttons in the header — Add to collection, Keywords,
Presets, Paste to N, Export N, Remove from collection — and four more
on the floating bar at the foot of the grid, beside the count that
says what they would act on.

The header half was the worse of the two. Those six appeared and
disappeared from the middle of the row as photographs were picked, so
Sync, Settings and everything beside them slid several hundred pixels
sideways at the exact moment a hand was already travelling toward one.
On a tablet the header scrolls sideways, so they were often not on
screen at all.

All six move to the bar. It now reads left to right as shaping the
selection — Clear, Select all, Select to… — then acting on it, with a
gap between the two thoughts. The header keeps only what belongs to
the library, and changes only when the library does.

Two consequences worth stating. The bar holds ten controls in the
worst case, so it scrolls sideways like every other row in this view,
for the reason set out on the header's Flickable: a layout given less
width than its children need overruns rather than shrinking, and the
buttons past the edge are simply gone. And the bar now stays up for a
running export whatever the selection has since become, because Cancel
export lived on a button that used to have its own `|| exporting`
escape hatch — the grid's viewport inset follows the same condition so
the last row of thumbnails is never trapped underneath.

`settings-summary` went with them: threaded from the window into the
grid and into HeaderActions, and never once drawn.
