* Properties: Text Frame section shows inset spacing and vertical justification

Properties › Text Frame now shows the frame's inset spacing under the
columns: Top and Bottom, a link that makes all four the same, then Left
and Right. A non-rectangular frame shows one Inset, the distance its text
keeps from the outline. Four buttons set Vertical Justification to Top,
Center, Bottom or Justify. Type on a path shows neither.

The section also shows with the Type tool in a frame. There it changes
the frame that shows the insertion point, or every frame that holds part
of the selected text, as Object › Text Frame Options does.

* Properties: one Inset for a non-rectangular frame keeps the other sides

The single Inset sets only the top inset, the one kept from the
outline. A rectangular frame that holds part of the same selected text
keeps its own sides.

* Properties: the one Inset field and the composer share the frame outline test

FrameOutline::of_item builds an item's outline with its corner options
applied. The composer uses it to keep the top inset from the outline,
and the Properties panel uses it to decide whether a frame shows one
Inset, so the two give the same answer for every frame.

* Text Frame Options: frames taken while typing stay with their document

OK is refused when another document became active after the dialog opened, so the saved frame ids do not change frames in that document.

* Properties: the inset link starts linked again after Revert

The link's state is kept per document state instead of per document, so
a frame with equal insets in the reverted document starts linked.

* Text Frame Options: frames taken while typing are refused after Revert

Revert keeps the document's id but replaces its state, so a new frame
can reuse a saved frame id. The dialog now ties the frames to the
document state, and OK is refused after Revert as it is in another
document.

* Properties: the one Inset of a non-rectangular frame sets all four sides

The composer bounds a shaped frame's text by its rectangle less all four
insets as well as by the outline, so a single Inset that changed only the
top left hidden sides in place: lowering a uniform 96 pt inset to 0 kept
text overset. When every frame the field changes is shaped, it now sets
all four sides. With a rectangular frame among them, only the top inset
changes and each frame keeps its other sides.

* Fix text frame dialog merge resolution

* Keep text frame preview targets fixed

* Fix target field key inference

* Tests: Text Frame Options show four sides for text through an oval and a rectangle

With the Type tool and text selected through an oval and a threaded
rectangle, with the oval as the caret's stored frame, the dialog shows
the four inset sides, a changed Top leaves the rectangle's other sides
as they were, and the link stays off while the rectangle's sides are
uneven.

* Properties: the inset link starts off when another frame has uneven sides

With selected text that runs through several frames, the link of Text
Frame > Inset Spacing started linked when the frame the section shows had
four equal insets, and a changed Top then set all four sides of every
frame. The link now starts linked only when every frame the field changes
has four equal insets. Its state is kept for that set of frames, so a link
turned on for one frame does not carry over to selected text that also
runs through a frame with uneven sides.
