Preserve existing panes when applying a preset

Previously: clicking 1 / 2H / 3H / 2V / 2×2 in the titlebar replaced
the whole tree with brand-new empty leaves, killing every shell — and
the only safeguard was a window.confirm() that's easy to miss-click.
The user lost work whenever they reached for a preset.

New behaviour via `reshapeToPreset`:
- The preset's shape is built fresh (1, 2, 3, or 4 slots), then existing
  leaves are spliced into those slots in DFS order. Their id / distro /
  cwd / label / broadcast all carry over, so the same PaneId is still
  mapped — the PTY keeps running.
- If the preset has MORE slots than existing leaves (e.g. 1 pane → 2×2),
  the extra slots stay as fresh empty leaves and new shells spawn there.
  No prompt — pure additive change.
- If the preset has FEWER slots than existing leaves (e.g. 8 panes →
  2×2), the overflow leaves are returned in `dropped`. We confirm with
  the user, and if they accept, kill those PTYs explicitly.

Tradeoff: split ratios reset to 0.5 (the whole point of "apply preset"
is to use its layout). That's an acceptable cost.
