Retire Remap: a translation shifts, and only a stretch needs a fraction

`Remap` existed to invert a composition, and a translation never needed
one: shifting a box shifts everything composed into it by the same
amount, because `lerp(s + d, e + d, t) == lerp(s, e, t) + d` on both
channels. That holds whether or not the box has a relative extent, so
the carry branch was answering a question it did not have to ask.

So the decision is made once, before the walk, and neither relocation
method branches. A translation is already one slot write. A change of
length calls `UiRegion::stretch`, which re-expresses each part at its
own fraction of the new box and needs `stretchable` -- a fixed length
holds its parts as offsets from its start and keeps no fraction to
stretch by.

`Remap`, `UiScalar::outside`, `UiSpan::outside` and `LerpUtil::lerp_inv`
are all gone with it. Nothing inverts a lerp any more: the one division
is done against a denominator `stretchable` already established is not
zero.

What it gives up is the per-axis carry, so a box that changed length on
one axis and not the other is redrawn where it used to be remapped.
Counted: six of `tabs`'s fourteen relocations and five of `text`'s
sixteen, and one extra redraw per frame on `replace_cost`'s 200 rows --
354,310,889 instructions against 354,272,387, which is noise.

Checked: fmt, clippy and 42 tests. `tabs` (with the image replay),
`view`, `minimal` and `text` all still render byte-identical to
`upstream/main`.
