Let a behavior run while the editor is open

A behavior object carries a "Run in editor" switch next to Enabled. When
it is on, the behavior ticks outside of Play and works on the saved model
directly - Unity semantics: what it moves is a real change, autosaved and
not undoable.

Input stays with the editor, so On key never fires while typing. The
editor run never bakes placed containers into the model, since that would
silently drop their instanceEdits.

syncToModel reports whether it wrote anything, and the dirty flag is only
raised on change - otherwise a behavior moving something every frame
would trigger ~60 saves a second.

/**
* Keeps the behaviors switched to "run in editor" running while the project is *not* playing.
*
* The one thing that makes this different from Play: the world is built from the saved model, not
* from a copy. What such a behavior moves or writes is a real edit – it is saved and it is not on
* the undo stack. The keyboard and the mouse stay with the editor, so input nodes never fire here.
