Ask for the collection's name before there is a collection to name

"New collection from selection" created the collection under a placeholder
name and then opened the sidebar tree's rename field to correct it.

On a tablet that field is not on screen. The collections panel is always
instantiated — app.slint collapses it to zero width and `visible: false`
rather than using an `if`, because an `if` there is a layout loop Slint
panics on — so the rename TextInput was created all the same, its `init`
called `self.focus()`, and Android raised the on-screen keyboard for a box
nobody could see. Nothing else on the screen is focusable, so the keyboard
had nowhere to go back to: it stayed up, the name could not be typed, and
the collection was already written under the name the user did not want.

Asked in a sheet instead, on the same card, scrim and dismissal the filing
and keywording sheets use. The field takes the keyboard as the sheet
appears — over a field that is actually drawn, which is the whole
difference — and the card sits a third of the way down rather than centred,
because on a tablet the keyboard is the bottom half of the window.

Nothing reaches the catalog until Create. That also ends a second bug the
old order could not avoid: an abandoned rename used to leave a collection
called "New collection" behind, because creating came first.

`Field` grows a `take-focus()` for this. A function rather than a property:
focus is an event, and bound to a property it would fight whatever took
focus next and re-take it on every unrelated re-evaluation.
