modules/montage: introduce tiles= setting, stop randomizing
Montage would randomize orphaned setting instances for the
participating modules @ context create time.
This not only produced montage tiles one couldn't configure via
settings even if they wanted to, but it also produced partial
paths due to the orphaned settings instances.
With this commit montage tiles are configurable in the same way
compose::layers are; a comma-separated list of modules with
settings accompanying them.
Randomizing is no longer performed, but if seen via something
like rtv, that randomizer will operate on the regular setup
machinery to produce randomized montages.
One new ability delivered with tiles= is you can specify the same
module repeatedly to produce a tiled display of the same thing.
Those instances may have the same or different settings, it's
totally controllable.
This also opens up the future for more interesting things like
shiftng ticks in the montage tiles... imagine showing the same
module a few times in each row, but offsetting ticks into the
future/past in the columns. For ticks-driven modules, you'd see
the future/past frames side by side, like a flipbook effect.
This leaves rtv as the only til_module_setup_randomize() caller
remaining...
