layout: detach a figure to its own window, and attach it back

Beside each figure row's full-screen toggle -- same corner, same show-on-approach reveal, same
one-figure/never-maximized rules -- a **detach** button moves the figure into a window of its
own: copied into a new scope window (titled "detached") and removed from the main window's rows,
which then save the change. The detached window is the one scope window with an **attach**
control: an overlay wrapping its GL area, a button in the top-right corner revealed by the same
pointer-proximity rule from the overlay's own motion controller, and one click appends the
figure back to the main window's rows (cells, weights, every slot's signal in its colour) and
closes the window.

`detach_figure()` / `attach_scope_window()`; the reveal and placement share the maximize
buttons' geometry and pointer state, per row. A detached window's rows participate everywhere a
scope window's do (drops, the signal page's *Plot on* groups), which the previous commit gave
them.

Probe: `[maximize-probe]` now counts the detach buttons (`detach_single=0` for one figure,
`detach=2` for two, absent while maximized) and reads their corner reveal
(`detach_near=1 detach_other=0`, the pointer parked on the detach button's own centre -- the
strictest zone of the pair). Real-pointer smoke: hover reveals the pair, clicking detach opens
the window, clicking attach closes it with the figure back. Docs: README, the Mallard layout
page, the probe readings, the layout invariant, and the tour's plot stop.
