feat: tab action icons on the active tab only, middle-click closes tabs

Rework of the previous hover-overlay approach after feedback: sliding the
title under incoming icons made names hard to read, and icons appearing
under the cursor caused accidental gear/close clicks while switching tabs.

Now the gear/pop-out/close icons expand in flow on the ACTIVE tab only.
Selection is a deliberate click, so the strip's geometry never changes
while the pointer is aiming at a tab; hovering a background tab changes
nothing (the full title stays readable) and a stray click can only switch
sessions. Middle-click closes any tab (session tabs via the existing
close-confirm modal, web tabs via closeWebviewTab), matching browser
muscle memory so background tabs still close in one action.

The pop-out button stays opt-in via App Settings -> Tab Bar (per-device
showTabDetachButton, default off), and a detached tab keeps its icon as
the re-focus affordance. Phone layouts already used the active-only
pattern; tablets keep their always-visible touch fallback.

/* ===== Fixed-width tab hover: icons overlay, title slides ================
All three per-tab icons live in a .tab-actions wrapper. In flow it adds no
width (children keep the width:0 collapse above), so the touch paths in
mobile.css behave exactly as before. On hover-capable devices the wrapper
is lifted out of flow instead: the tab NEVER changes width on hover — the
icons slide in over the right edge while the title row (and any badges)
slide left by --tab-slide, set per-tab by _applyTabHoverSlide() in app.js
(text width is unknowable in CSS; short names should barely move). The
sliding title clips at the LEFT edge of .tab-info (overflow: hidden), so
the readable tail — the :comment suffix — stays visible. */
