v0.55.0: Kaleidostrobe smooth again; visualizer tile hover controls

The cones move only on the plugin's own 25 fps frames again: driving them
from fresh audio every refresh made bass-heavy songs twitch (a jump on 84%
of refreshes against 41%). The continuous turn, texture crossfade and the
GPU big window stay.

The tile: a click opens it big (and it stays blank while big); hovering
shows a colour wheel (colour / gray / off) and up/down arrows (previous /
next visualizer). No more double-click or click-to-cycle. The big album
art closes on a click or Esc, like the big visualizer.

"""Round 85: Kaleidostrobe at 60 fps, its big window on the GPU, gray mode
as two tones, and a sync slider that can also say "sooner".
1. Between the plugin's 25 fps frames: a smooth turn, crossfaded textures,
the cone driven by a preview of the newest audio — which must never
change the original's own frames.
1. Between the plugin's 25 fps frames: a smooth turn and crossfaded
textures. (The cone also followed a preview of the newest audio here;
Round 86 took that out — it made the picture twitch.)
2. Gray mode: the gray-mode colour on the panel background, nothing else.
3. The sync slider below zero.
4. The big window: an OpenGL canvas for Kaleidostrobe, QPainter without GL.
