Show the type an arithmetic shader node really puts out (#219)

The result of Add, Multiply, Mix and the other arithmetic nodes of
a shader graph was drawn as any, whatever went in. The compiler
already lifts a colour on any side to a colour result, so the pin
said less than the code knew. A colour result could also be wired
into a number input, and the shader then failed to compile.

- liftedType in core/shader/nodes.ts is the one rule. The compiler
  reads it when it lifts two operands, and the editor reads it
  through liftedPortType for the ports it draws.
- A SharedPortGroup may bring its own rule as agree. Without one
  it is agreedType, as before. The thirteen arithmetic nodes share
  their type by liftedPortType.
- Only the any inputs decide. An input nothing feeds counts as the
  number typed into it. t, edge, exponent, min and max have no say.
- The type travels through a chain of such nodes without code of
  its own, because #210 hands a shared type on.
- In a ring the result stays any, unless a colour has settled it.
- A number may feed a colour input. Without that a number result
  no longer fitted Output.color, although the compiler spreads it
  over three channels. The rule sits in portsCompatible, but only
  the shader graph has colour ports.
- A colour result no longer fits a number input. An edge laid
  before the colour came in stays and is drawn in the danger
  colour, and the node at its end names the problem.
- The nine shaders in the stored projects (108 edges) all stay
  valid under the new rule.

Tests:
- Gate on melektaus-atx: 212 files, 3260 tests (3240 + 20), exit 0.
  The gate right before this commit ran on the tree of this and
  the next commit together, with the same numbers.
- e2e 28 on melektaus-atx: 81 checks, all pass.
- e2e 1-31: 1059 pass, 1 fail in module 18 (the editor clock read
  1.97 s after a stop). A rerun of 1-18 passed with 602 checks and
  0.18 s. 1-31 was not run in full again.
- No full run and no smokes. The sum of 1676 (1673 + 3) is reckoned.
- Twenty unit tests in shader-port-types.test.ts, one of them runs
  all thirteen nodes through every mix of number and colour and
  compares what is drawn with the code made.
- Two tests in shaders.test.ts now lay the edge first and bring the
  colour in after, the only order that still wires such a graph.
- Three e2e checks in module 28 with the real mouse: a colour into
  Multiply, the red edge with its message, and the colour result
  refused at alpha and taken at color.
- Fifteen unit counter-probes and two browser counter-probes all
  fail their tests.
- Not checked in the browser: the one-input nodes, Mix and the
  ring, and a number wired straight into a colour input. Nothing
  was looked at after the build.
