Split the client into modules, and clear out what iteration left behind

main.rs had grown to 1290 lines holding everything: the CLI, the client
state, the capture engine, the drawing, the input handling and twelve
Dispatch impls. It is now orchestration only, and the concerns live where
you would look for them — cli, app, capture, overlay — with the module
docs saying what each owns. No behaviour changed; the code moved.

Iterating in response to review left residue, now gone:

- Tile::handle was only ever written. Dropping a wayland-rs proxy does
  not destroy the object, so nothing needed it held.
- Tile::failed likewise: an earlier captures_settled() read it, and
  `settled` is what everything waits on now.
- A blanket #[allow(dead_code)] on Tile hid both of those. Fields are
  pub(crate) rather than pub so the lint keeps working.
- Tile's doc comment had drifted onto the Format enum during a patch.
- Three consecutive `if args.verbose` blocks became describe() and
  report(), and the loose ticks/releases/starved/pool_bytes counters
  became one Stats. `releases` went: frames already imply it.
- quit + quit_why + activate became one Ending enum and picked, so
  "closed by the compositor" is a state rather than a string.
- App::new took seven positional arguments, two of them bare integers in
  a row; the four that always travel together are now Settings.
- sway::scale and the display listing each called get_outputs; one call
  does both.
- scaled(rect, n) became Rect::scaled(n), and Format lives with Target
  where render() dispatches on it.

README had drifted too: the usage line still advertised --print, which
no longer exists, and omitted --format and --no-outputs. Its flag list is
now checked against --help, the memory figures are re-measured, and there
is a source layout for anyone arriving cold.

//! Capturing windows and displays.
