8d49ecf50d feat: Photoshop's tool keys (arrows turn the brush, Shift-click new type, Space+F canvas colour) (#3725)
* feat: Left and Right arrows turn the brush tip

With a painting tool, Photoshop's Left and Right arrow keys turn the brush
tip 1 degree (15 with Shift); Right turns it clockwise. tools.rotateBrush
turns the session brush's angle by "degrees", wrapped into -180..180, and
move_mods::arrow_keys gives it the plain and Shift arrows only for the
painting tools, when no Move-tool, transform or selection nudge applies
and no type is being edited. Alt-arrows still kern type; Ctrl-arrows still
nudge the layer.

* feat(ui): Shift-click with the Type tool starts new text over existing type

In Photoshop a click on existing type with the Type tool edits it, and a
Shift-click there starts a new type layer instead, so text can be placed
over other text. pointer_down now leaves a Shift-click unconsumed when no
type is being edited, so it starts new text; inside the text being edited,
Shift-click still extends the selection.

* feat(ui): Space+F cycles the canvas colour

Photoshop's Space+F steps the pasteboard (canvas) colour through Default,
Black, Dark Gray, Medium Gray, Light Gray and Custom, and Shift+Space+F
steps back, round and round. While the Hand key is held, F does this
instead of Cycle Screen Mode; the choice is saved like picking it in the
pasteboard menu (interface.canvasColor). docs/ui-parity.md lists the new
tool keys.
