Notes: edit a text file of any size (#47)
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 1m52s
Site / build (pull_request) Successful in 12s

The editor held the whole note in memory and stopped at 16 KB. It now keeps
a window of the file around the cursor, and the rest on the card as a list
of pieces (notes::NoteDocument). Memory with a note open is what it was.

Up to 64 KB a save rewrites the file, as before. Above, the five-second
save appends what changed to <note>.edit, and the file is rewritten on
leaving the note, with a progress bar. After a power cut, opening the note
picks the edit up where it was saved; a rewrite cut short is finished or
dropped, never half applied.

Also: Ctrl with Fn+Up/Down go to the start and end of the note; the
consoles' `key` command takes ctrl-, alt- and shift-; the Storage App's
`e` no longer refuses a big file.
