Maurice d1e3d8a75a feat(places): offer Waze and Apple Maps beside Google Maps (#1885)
* Offer Waze and Apple Maps beside Google Maps

A place could only be opened in Google Maps, and the request in #919 was for the
apps people actually drive with. Google keeps the precise link it always had:
ftid, then place id, then the details URL, and coordinates only as a last resort,
so it still lands on the entry inside a mall rather than on the roof. Waze and
Apple Maps take coordinates and nothing else, which is why they are absent for a
place with no position, and why they open with navigation armed instead of on a
place view.

No setting. Every app that can resolve the place is offered, except Apple Maps,
which is dead weight on Android and Windows and therefore only appears on Apple
platforms. iPadOS reports itself as a Mac; both sides of that ambiguity have the
app, so the check does not need to tell them apart.

The picker is a new component rather than the context menu, which has no notion
of a submenu. It is portalled because both call sites sit in panels that clip
their overflow, and it is measured before it is painted: near the bottom of the
window it flips above the trigger instead of running off the screen, and it is
pulled back inside when it would overflow to the right. With a single app left
to offer there is no menu at all, the button opens it directly, exactly as it
behaved before.

The three surfaces take it the way each has room for. The inspector button
collects them behind one entry, the day-plan context menu lists them flat
because a menu can grow, and the phone keeps its single circle and opens the
picker as a sheet.

* Move OpenStreetMap into the navigation menu, and name the destination

OSM was still a button of its own beside the one that now collects the map apps,
which is the arrangement the menu exists to end. It belongs with the others.

The bigger correction is what Waze and Apple Maps are handed. Both document a
query parameter next to the position, and the pair is what makes a destination
legible: coordinates say which place is meant, the name is what the driver reads
instead of a number. Neither gets a name without a position, because there are a
lot of places called "Bahnhof". Google is unchanged; it can already do better
than a name through its place id.

* Stop drawing the section count as a pill inside a pill

SectionHeader wraps its count in a CountPill, and all three callers passed one
in already, so every section header carried two stacked pills: a lighter
rounded background peeking out from behind the real one. Pass the number and
let the header do the wrapping.

* Give the traveler filter a label and a way back

The avatars floated between the toolbar and the first section with nothing to
say what they were, and once a filter was on the only way out was remembering
which face had been tapped. It is a labelled bar now, closed off by the same
divider the rows below use, with an explicit reset that appears while a filter
is active. Both texts already exist in all 23 languages.

* Line the traveler filter up with the section titles

It carried the sheet's usual 18px of horizontal padding while SectionHeader
right below it starts at 2, so the two labels sat on different left edges.

* Filter the place list by stars instead of sorting by them

Sorting put the best-rated place first and left every other one on the list,
which does not help when the question is "what does the group actually want to
do". It is a floor now, the same one the collections bar uses: All, or 5+ down
to 1+, with unrated places dropping out once a floor is set. The button carries
the active floor so the list is never quietly shortened.

The row it sits in used to render only when the trip had categories, which hid
the star control on a fresh trip. That is exactly where someone collects places
to rate, so the row is always there now and only the category dropdown depends
on there being categories.

places.sortByRating is replaced by places.filterByRating in all 23 languages,
since the old label described a behaviour that no longer exists.

* Keep the collections map when a filter matches nothing

Clicking a label with no places behind it made the map disappear and the page
reflow to full width. The layout hung off the FILTERED set: no visible places
meant nothing mappable meant no split. A filter should empty the map, not tear
it out, so the layout now asks whether the list has anything mappable at all,
while the markers keep following the filter.

* Give the label filters a tray of their own

Two changes to the filter row. Select and manage-labels drop their captions and
keep icon, title and aria-label, which puts them on the same footing as the
add-place button that was already icon-only.

The labels themselves were pill-shaped buttons with their own borders sitting
loose among square-cornered dropdowns, so a list with a handful of them read as
a pile rather than as one control. They share the filter buttons' radius and
type now, and sit in a recessed strip led by a tag glyph: the chips carry no
border of their own, because a frame inside a frame was half the noise. Manage
stays quiet at the end of the strip until hovered.

* Put the collections controls on one line

The filter row sat at about 31px while the buttons floating over the map are
38, and the icon-only add button was the odd one out even within its own row.
Scrolled to the top, where the row and the map's top bar are side by side, that
reads as three different heights.

One --col-ctl-h for both, fixed rather than derived from padding so a button
with an icon and one with a word cannot drift apart, and the row starts at the
same offset the map's own bar does. Phones raise the variable instead of
patching individual min-heights, which keeps the square buttons square.

* Offer Apple Maps on desktops that are not Apple

Apple Maps has had a web version since 2024, so the link resolves to a usable
map on Windows and Linux rather than to nothing. Hiding it there was a guess
about a limitation that no longer exists.

Android keeps the exemption: the web version works there too, but nobody
navigating from an Android phone reaches for Apple Maps, and the row of choices
is short on purpose.

* Move the label filter into the map's top bar

The filter row was running out of room while the map's own bar had space to
spare, so the labels ride up there next to the collapse button, in the same
glass as the controls beside them and scrolling sideways rather than wrapping.

They fall back into the filter row whenever no map is on screen — a narrow
window in list view, or a list with nothing mappable in it — so they can never
end up somewhere the user cannot reach. Both places render the same component
now instead of two copies drifting apart.

* Stop the active select button drawing a dark icon on a dark fill

Two rules with the same specificity claimed the same class. On a dropdown
`.open` means the panel is down, so the label stays dark; on the select button
it meant the mode is on, which fills it with the accent and needs the light
text. The dropdown rule sits later in the file, so it won, and the icon
disappeared into the fill the moment the button was clicked.

The state is `.on` now, which is what the other toggles on this page
(col-map-btn, col-iconbtn) already call it.

* Open the place in Google Maps, not the coordinates

Reported in #1278 and still reproducible: without a Google identifier the link
carried nothing but latitude and longitude, so Maps dropped an unlabelled pin
instead of opening the entry. The name and the address were both on hand and
both thrown away.

Google documents query=PLACE_NAME,ADDRESS for exactly this case, so that is
what the fallback sends now. A name with no address still falls through to
coordinates, because "Central Station" on its own would confidently open the
wrong city, and a pin in the right spot beats a link to the wrong place.

The precise paths are untouched: an ftid or a place id still wins, and they are
what a place searched through Google carries. This only changes what happens
for the ones that carry neither, which is every place added from OpenStreetMap,
by hand, or before those fields existed.
