feat(config-settings): replace the ANSI renderer with a curses front-end

config-settings is now a launcher for scripts/config-settings-tui.py,
drawn with Python's stdlib curses. The seven fish files that hand-rolled
the ANSI renderer are gone, along with the golden harness that had to pin
their byte-exact output.

The TUI is a child process, so it can neither read the session's global
variables nor write them. State goes in as a dump from the new
__config_settings_state; the edits come back as a fish script that
config-settings sources, which is what lets the Session page's `set -g`
land in the caller's shell instead of in a child that is about to exit.
Every edit is emitted as a call to __config_settings_apply or
__config_settings_set_value, so list splitting, the SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_*
export mirror and the shadow-warning suppression all stay in the fish
layer that already owned them.

The consequence, and the one behaviour change: edits are applied in one
batch on exit rather than on each keypress. The status bar shows a
pending count.

New: `/` filters the current page, and on the Universal and Session pages
it reaches into every category's sub-categories, listing hits as
"Category › Sub" so a sub-category can be toggled without drilling into
its parent first. Also a `?` help overlay, mouse selection, and a
drill-down page that leads with the category's own toggle.

Gone with the renderer: the four width tiers, the wrap-aware erase
arithmetic, the stty/dd/od raw key reader, the panel-height bookkeeping
and the hand-written redraw differ. curses owns all of it, and the alt
screen plus absolute addressing makes the desync class behind 608b022,
4210f3b, 93fc5e0 and 3c4f720 unreachable.

The sub-category taxonomy is NOT duplicated in Python: it travels in the
state dump, still sourced from __config_settings_subcats. The category,
Sponge and Paths row tables move into Python, consolidating the two
copies the fish renderers kept.

Dependency: python3 with curses. Stdlib on Arch, Fedora and a full
Debian/Ubuntu python3; python3-minimal alone lacks _curses. The launcher
checks for both and names what is missing. Called out in the README.

Verified: 416/416 assertions, plus a live end-to-end in a sandbox HOME
confirming the Universal page writes universal scope only (U1/G0) and the
Session page global scope only (U0/G1).
