Martino Ferrari b090cc2a21 fix: math in a file view -- the buffer was emptied, and the derived ring filled twice
Two defects, both reached by adding a math channel to an open waveform or a replayed
event, and both measured before and after.

**A file view has no producer, so a structural change left it empty.** `set_math_channels()`
rebuilds the channels *and* the buffer, and a rebuild drops the history: right for a stream,
whose producer refills it from the next packet, and wrong for a file, which has nothing to
refill it with. The `--open` dump read `0 samples vs 0 time slots` for *every* channel,
the file's own `sine`/`square`/`ramp`/`noise` included, though the load had reported 402 --
that is what "adding a math node breaks the plotter" was. `reload_file_view()` re-reads the
file after such a change, which is also what computes the derived channels over it: the
load's own pushes run the math once the set is in place, so `--open` with a session that
defines graphs works for the first time.

**The file path pushed into the derived rings, and so did the engine.** `push_loaded_slot()`
did not honour the rule `ChannelInfo::math` states for the packet path ("the ingest must skip
it"), so each loaded slot put a value in a derived ring and `push_math_sample()` then put the
computed one: two samples per slot, a trace at double rate -- the derived channels read
`804 samples vs 402 time slots`. Skipping them there is the whole fix.

Readings now, all equal, which is the assertion this file's own invariant makes:

    --open the file:  math x2  402 samples vs 402 time slots, y=[-1.9021, 0.0063]  (2x the sine)
                      math lp  402 vs 402, mean=-0.4900 (a real filter output, not zero)
    live:             math x2  25100 vs 25100
    replayed event:   math x2  4000 vs 4000

I first tried filtering the file's *derived columns* out by name, since an export writes
every plotted channel. It removed the double count and zeroed `math lp`, because the column
it dropped was the source a session graph reads -- so it is reverted: those columns are
legitimate data, and the fix belongs in the push, not the loader.

Martino Ferrari 90a17eb186 ui: the math panel's frame is a .ui file
The first half of this plan row. src/ui/math-panel.ui holds the panel: the box and its
margins, the heading row with the title and the add button, and the list the channel rows
go in. The rows stay in code -- each is a channel with its name, unit, expression, colour
and its own edit and remove buttons -- so the file holds the frame, as in the measurements
and signals panels beside it.

Read back by a dump line that also reads the file's own text:
`math panel: head=2 buttons=1 list=1 title='Math channels'`, where buttons=0 is a lost
`+` and title='-' a lost label. `[math-probe]` still drives the add and opens the editor,
so the rows landing in the file's list is read as well as the frame.

The other half is the node editor's chrome, which is where least of that file is template:
the canvas is a GtkDrawingArea that is drawn rather than declared, and the gestures, the
parameter fields and the palette are code. That is its own change.
