feat(plot): the readout marker snaps to the sample it quotes, and the value mode is a choice

The mark was placed at the *pointer's* x with the quoted sample's y, so with the
nearest-sample readout it sat off the datum horizontally -- and further off the deeper
the zoom. `CrosshairRow` now carries the data `x` the value belongs to and the marker is
placed from it, so in `NearestSample` the mark lands on the sample the panel is quoting.
`Style::crosshair_marker_px` (9) and `crosshair_marker_width` (1.5) replace the
renderer's hard-coded 3 px arm and 1 px stroke: a snapped mark lands among a trace's own
sample dots (`marker_px`, 3) and at that size would read as one more sample rather than
as the answer to the question the hover asks.

`CrosshairValue` makes the previous behaviour reachable rather than deleted. The two
modes answer different questions -- `NearestSample` "which datum is under the pointer",
`Interpolated` "what is the signal at this instant" -- and only the caller knows which it
is asking, so the plot offers both with the sample as the default.
`crosshair_interpolate()` is restored for it.

`Plot::crosshair_point()` is the lookup with both coordinates, public because a host that
draws instruments of its own needs the same snap and a second rule for it would drift
from this one; `crosshair_value()` delegates to it.
