fix: a paused view carries its own LOD pyramid, so it is drawn like a held event

publish_pause_view() filled stamps, values and y and left pyramids empty, so
level_for() descended to raw samples and a frozen pause was re-gathered from
every sample it held on every frame. It cost draw time (12.34 -> 18.18 ms mean)
and, because stage_trace_density() normalises each column against its own peak,
it also changed how the trace looked -- which is how it was noticed.

Both publishes are now timed and reported as `publish cost:`, counted apart
because they stall opposite threads: the event publish runs on the producer
under mutex() and blocks the UI, the pause publish runs on the UI thread and
blocks the producer. That is the number a second live ring has to be judged
against.
