Vance Ingalls 0d09f0c3a7 feat(studio): curve, snap and type a value in an automation lane
Four gestures from Ableton's envelope editor, which is the muscle memory
an automation lane inherits.

Alt-drag the line between two breakpoints to bend it, Alt-double-click to
straighten. `curve` was already honoured everywhere it is read — drawn in
the lane, sampled in preview, baked into the render through
setValueCurveAtTime — with no gesture anywhere that could set it, so every
envelope anyone could draw was linear in practice. The curve is solved,
not accumulated (x^e = f, so e = ln f / ln x), which keeps the segment
under the pointer instead of drifting away over a long drag; the test
asserts that by sampling with the renderer's own sampler.

Shift locks a drag to one axis and fines the vertical travel to a quarter.
Which axis won is decided in pixels — seconds and dB are not comparable
numbers, and comparing them would make the lock depend on the zoom.

A dragged point snaps to the beat grid and to its neighbouring points,
with Alt to ignore it. The radius is tight on purpose: a lane is often a
few seconds wide, where a generous radius makes a point unplaceable
between two beats.

Double-click a point to type its value. -6.0 dB is not a pixel you can
find, and there was no way to enter one.

The gesture layer moves to useAutomationLaneGestures and the path builder
to envelopePath: the component was at the studio's 600-line ceiling, and
both are worth testing without a render. trackShowsBeatStrip comes out of
TimelineLanes for the same reason.
