A position is an argument, not another command

Everything could only be added to the end, because `append` computed its own
position — the max end of the lane — and so had no opinion to state. Insert is
not a new command; it is the argument that function was missing. `:at` takes a
lane frame or `:end`, `:end` is the position where nothing has to move, and
appending stops being a separate operation from inserting. New, reused and
duplicated drawings all take it, because there was only ever one placement rule.

Placing ripples: occurrences at or after the position move later by the new
exposure's duration, and `:keep` against `:grow-symbol` still decides what
happens at the shot's end. OVERWRITE is deliberately not a policy argument yet.
Taking frames away from the occurrence already there is TRIMMING, and an
argument whose second value is unimplemented is worse than an argument that is
not there. A position strictly inside an existing exposure refuses and names
`split`, rather than splitting on the quiet: one command performing two is how
a command stops being predictable.

Then split, which turned out to cost almost nothing, and that is the
interesting part. The two pieces keep ONE `:time` and differ only in `:span`.
The right piece's own frames therefore carry on exactly where the left's
stopped, so its source clock, its keys and its corrections go on meaning what
they meant: a held drawing holds the same frame either side of the cut, and a
playing insert plays through it without a seam. There is no arithmetic on
in-points to get wrong, and no shot-length question, since the pieces occupy
the frames the one exposure occupied. The test samples every frame before and
after and asserts the picture is identical — for a hold, for an exposure with a
correction of its own, and for a playing insert.

That is not a clever split. It is `:span` being in the node's OWN coordinates,
which was decided long before there were lanes, paying for something it was not
designed for. The same property is why extending a hold leaves lane keys alone.

Both new commands act at the playhead, which needed `lane-frame` — the symbol's
frame as a frame of the lane's own time, nil through a stepped or looping lane
where one is not the other. Nil refuses; it does not snap to a nearby frame.

Two smaller things found while doing it. `placeable` promised "a whole lane
frame" in its refusal and then accepted 2.5, so both it and `split` now require
an integer, as `extend-hold` already did for its delta. And `lane-end` is
private: `:end` is the only way to ask for it.

401 tests, 5,612 assertions. The browser flow now splits an exposure at the
playhead and puts a drawing in the gap, and checks that six exposures are still
one row.
