modules/rkt: first stab at scene editing for scener
This augments the NEWSCENE_SETUP state to also handle editing existing settings, which is slightly different but actually overlaps with the already implemented invalid input stuff. There's still work to do, and the UX is kind of awkward at best. But this takes us from having no ability to edit existing scenes, to being able to actually make edits interactively while it's all live... with a modicum of interactive guidance via the setup machinery. It basically behaves just like creating a new scene, except instead of the <enter>-accepted "preferred" values, you accept the existing relevant setting. So as-is, when editing, you have no shortcut for getting back the "preferred" value for a given setting. That's been replaced with the existing value for that setting. You also get seemingly spurious redundant queries for module names in things like compose::layers, but they're really not the same since the first time you get asked it's actually the full settings string you're getting an opportunity to specify wholesale, but can accept to seed the layer's settings as-is, which you will then be given an opportunity to edit piecemeal. It's that subsequent piecemeal editing of the individual settings within the nested instance that can feel like a spurious duplication, especialy when a given layer has just a bare-value module name and no subsequent settings.. like "plasma". You'd be asked if you want "plasma" for the layers/[N], then asked if you want "plasma" _again_ for the layers/[N]/[0] since the module name is an unnamed setting at position 0 within the layers/[N] instance. It was tempting to try streamline that a bit, but there's actually utility in having an opportunity to paste in a full settings string for the layers/[N] if you have a serialized scene onhand you want to dump in there. Then after that, you can juts smash enter as much as necessary to accept what you pasted in without editing those in the piecemeal phase. Or, if there was actually something in what you pasted you did want to change, change it during that piecemeal phase. I think it at least kind of works.
