Multi-iPad dest_id routing, activity ring, context menu hide, live label/visibility sync

Desktop:
- Replace Remote checkbox with T: dest_spin (0=Off, 1-9=tablet) on all widgets
- dest_id persisted in get_state/set_state, broadcast in tablet snapshot
- dest_spin.valueChanged triggers save + broadcast to iPad
- _on_widget_visibility_from_tablet updates dest_spin from iPad hide event
- _broadcast_preset_update shared helper; ws_server.has_clients guard
- label editingFinished triggers live label sync to iPad

iOS:
- VC-Arrange/VC-Logging/Widgets-Reusable-UI file reorganisation
- ArrangeObjects/ArrangeView rename, 7-bucket Arrange-Functions split
- myTabletId (UserDefaults) + tabletIdField next to port in toolbar
- Preset filter: destId == myTabletId instead of visible bool
- BaseWidget activity ring: long press gesture (touch) + final update() flash
- Context menu long press (arrange mode): hide widget, save layout, send dest_id:0
- Same-UUID preset check skips Preset Switched alert on visibility/label updates
- autoSwitchEnabled, toolbarStatusLabel, presetLabel, statusToken
