Stretch the whole file at the ends, not one line

`Modifier.horizontalScroll` builds its own overscroll effect per node, so
with a node per row only the line under the finger bent when the file was
dragged past either end and the rest sat still beside it -- the same
complaint as the offsets, one layer out.

There is an overload that takes the effect instead of making one, and it
leaves the rendering to the caller. So the viewer makes one effect, hands
it to every row, and renders it once on a box around the list: the file
bends as the block it scrolls as. This only works now that every row is
the same width -- rows that disagreed about where the end was would
disagree about when to stretch.

**Not seen working.** Measured on the emulator here: over-dragging well
past the end and capturing mid-gesture produces a frame with no stretch in
it at all, and the list's own vertical overscroll does not appear either,
so this VM cannot show the effect for any scrollable. Noted in
~/.claude/MACHINE.md so the next session does not spend the same half hour
on it. What was checked here is everything either side: the scroll still
reaches both ends, the position survives scrolling vertically, and nothing
else moved. The stretch itself wants a look on the phone.
