Merge branch 'card-list': the thread pane as a list of cards
Replaces the five-column grid with a single column of three-line cards. Item 53 recorded that the columns, not the cues drawn inside them, were what made the list read as a table of records; item 20 had already shipped finished, tested and green and been rejected on sight for exactly that reason. A card is sender and date, subject with the flag, attachment and reply-count marks, and tags, at one uniform height. Replies indent under a continuous spine and show only the tags their thread does not carry. The account colour runs down the card's left edge, replacing the chip that used to eat a third of every subject line, with matching swatches in the account dropdown. Sorting newest or oldest first is new and remembered. Closes items 20, 51, 53 and 60. The four defects that mattered were all found by rendering cards to an image and looking at them, with the suite green through every one: a date clipped on unread cards because bold is wider than the font the layout measured, an accent bar painted in a colour identical to the background, an expander pill in a palette role a theme had made equal to Base, and three separate faults from trusting notmuch's reply depth to mean structure when it only means how notmuch happened to thread the mail.

-/// The strip is painted by the VIEW rather than by a delegate, and that is the
-/// whole reason this class exists. A delegate is handed one cell's rectangle
-/// and cannot paint outside its column, so pills drawn from the subject
-/// column's delegate stop at that column's edge, losing the last tags of a
-/// well-tagged thread, and start at that column's left edge, which puts them
-/// under the subject instead of under the row. Painting after the cells lets
-/// the strip run the full width, which is what the layout asks for:
+/// It exists for ONE reason now: the expander is drawn by CardDelegate, and a
+/// delegate gets no click of its own without an editor, so the view has to own
+/// the hit-test. Everything else it used to do is gone.

+/// Until item 53 this class also painted a row-wide strip of tag chips after

+/// kept producing: a deleted row cut in half, and every other row showing a
+/// bare stripe, both from the view having to re-honour alternating colours,
