Ask each child once and place its answer by re-expression

A widget draws in the box it is asked in and its answer is placed inside
that box by re-expressing the drawing; nothing is drawn again in a box an
answer chose. The offer machinery, whose job was to tell a measuring draw
from a placing one, goes with the placing draw. A span measures each child
from its cursor and moves fixed children to their slots with place_at; a
share child is asked once more in its decided slot with its frame narrowed
to it. A stack asks non-sizing children in the box its sizing child
decided. A scroll asks its content once and moves it to the scrolled
offset. A local redraw asks the retained question again and puts the
answer back where the parent placed it.

A symbolic length a child pinned composes through Part::Of exactly where
the part is the whole box less pixels, and pins the parent's own length
otherwise; dropping it let a pad reuse a drawing across a narrowed frame
of the same pixel length (shrinker seeds 60, 248 and 384 at depth 5).

Suite 114/114 including the two decided-box pins, fast oracle 11/11,
shrinker 400 seeds at depth 5 over all fifteen cases.
