Unflops the spur in +en-beam, +de-beam, and everything that calls either
of those, or works with the consequences of their output.
This includes clay's interface for mounting and unmounting, which now
no longer expects the arguments to contain an old-style spur.

Instead of providing a (unit path), allows for (list path), which better
supports the "update to path and subpath cases".
For example, if /things wants updates about everything, and
/things/specific wants updates about the specific thing, they'll both
need to receive a %fact when the specific thing changes.
Previously, these would have been two separate moves. Now, gall handles
the multi-targeting for you.
Turns out this wasn't a regression, it was intended behavior. I
continue to believe it's the wrong behavior, but that will require a
longer discussion.
This changes the entry-points in lib/auto so that clients never have to
handle magic-spoon. You can specify either a tape of code with a
position index or a preparsed hoon (presumably you ran +insert-magic
before parsing).
This stops slogging the tab completion and intead adds a +sole-effect
for tab completion output. This is morally correct, and it lets dojo
clients show tab completions how they want. For example, web dojo could
implement this as a drop-down box.
Another advantage is that this puts the rendering logic in drum, which
knows the width of the terminal. Thus, we can make sure each match
takes no more than one line by truncating with ellipses. If there's
only one match and it's already fully typed, then we display the whole
type.
It's useful to know what a function takes and produces, so this changes the autocomplete type prettyprinter to emphasize those. This also gives a nice syntax for molds. Examples:
```
-----
add {a/@ b/@} -> @
~zod:dojo> add
-----
term * -> @tas
~zod:dojo> term
-----
sign-transaction {tx/{nonce/@ud gas-price/@ud gas/@ud to/@ux value/@ud data/@ux chain-id/@ux} pk/@} -> @ux
~zod:dojo> sign-transaction🔑ethereum
-----
wind {a/(* -> *) b/(* -> *)} -> * -> ?({$give p/*} {$pass p// q/*} {$slip p/*})
~zod:dojo> wind
```
This is initial support for type-aware tab completion. When you hit tab, it tries to complete the word you're in the middle of using a face or arm in the subject at that point in the code. It also shows all possible matches and their associated types. It's nearly instantaneous. Notes:
- It advances to the longest common prefix, so if you hit tab on `ab` and the only possible results are `abcde` and `abcdz`, then it'll write `abcd` and print both out (with their types).
- If there are fewer than ten matches, it prints the type along with the face. Printing types is too slow to use all the time, but with 10 it's essentially instantaneous.
- The match closest in the subject to you (i.e. smallest axis number) is displayed lowest (closest to your focus).
Examples below, where `<TAB>` represents me hitting tab while my cursor is at that position (the line with the `<TAB>` is not preserved in the actual output).
```
~zod:dojo> eth<TAB>

Functionally, this is in a state where I'd be comfortable shipping it. It doesn't interfere with anything if you don't press tab, and it's perfectly OTA-able. I do think its output is a little verbose, but that can be tuned over time as people try it and determine what feels good in practice.
Additional notes:
- There are plenty of similar systems for other languages, but my most direct inspiration is Idris's editor tools. This is implemented for the dojo, but I actually want it in my editor, which is why the meat is all defind in a library. I've only tested on dojo one-liners, so I don't know the performance on large blocks of code.
- The default type printer isn't great for this use case. In particular,
- Cores should not print anything about their context
- The `#t/` should go away
- If it looks like a gate, we should print its return value
- Maybe special handling for molds, but if the above is done, then for example `bone` is `* -> @ud`.
- The worst part about our wing ordering is that it really screws up tab completion. You want to do `point.owner-address` instead of `owner-address.point` because that lets you type `point.ow<TAB>`. I weakly prefer reading it how we do it now, but it's really not great. You could do an (dojo-specific?) alternate syntax of `point;owner-address`; this is a simple transformation.
- Regardless of the above, this should handle the case where we're in the middle of defining a wing; it doesn't right now.
- When a variable is shadowed, we show both of them. We should probably show the shadowed one with a `^`.
- We probably shouldn't print out hundreds of results. Maybe just the closest 50 with ellipses.
- This gets you any face in your subject, regardless of whether its type is reasonable. We could limit that some by copying the `gol` logic in mint, so that if the pseudo-backward-inference engine happens to know what type it should be, you can filter the tab results according to if they nest in that type. This would be "strongly type-aware".
