feat(offset): open on the live preview for pre-selected objects; signed typed distance

Browse Source

With objects already selected, OFFSET opens at the side step with the
preview following the cursor instead of asking for a distance first
(#422). At the side step a typed distance places the offset at once on
the cursor's side, and a negative one on the other side; Enter at the
start repeats the last distance (#418). Erase and Layer, which lived on
the skipped distance step, are offered there too. With nothing selected
the distance-first flow is unchanged.

The opposite side is found by mirroring the cursor through its nearest
point on the outline, capped at half the offset distance so it cannot
cross a narrow gap back to the cursor's own side. Two new prompts are
added to the catalog and every locale.
