Describe shipped presets and looks in the manual and FR-DEV-6

The presets sheet now lists the shipped collection beside the
photographer's own, a copy under a shipped name overrides it, and
shipped and imported presets are looks that leave a photograph's own
corrections alone. The manual says so where it introduces the sheet,
and FR-DEV-6 states the rule. The sheet's screenshot (media/presets.png)
predates the sections and needs re-recording.

A preset may name a film stock, which travels with the film node's own parameters. The
application ships a read-only collection of presets, updated with each release and never
written into the user's library; a user preset saved under a shipped name overrides it
until deleted or renamed. Shipped and imported presets change only the operations they
name, so a look applied to a corrected photograph keeps the correction; a copy or a saved
edit replaces everything in scope.
