Let a variable hold an object across behavior runs
A spawned object was only reachable in the run that spawned it. The
Spawn output could not go into a variable because "object" was a
port-only kind, so the next run had no way back to the instance.

- "Object" is now a variable kind. The reference lives for the run
  only. The file stores the declaration and an empty value.
- The live reference sits in slots beside the variable bag
  (graph/objectSlots.ts), not in it. The bag is the behavior's props,
  and syncToModel would have written an object into the scene.
- A destroyed object, or one from a restarted or left scene, reads as
  nothing. A dead reference is dropped from its slot.
- Keep (#229) hands the slots of kept variables on to the next call
  of a sub-behavior.
- Properties of kind Behavior reads and writes another behavior's
  object variable through the same slots.
- The inspector shows "(null)" for it and offers no input.
- A persistent Variables asset with an object variable shows a
  warning under "Persistent". Saved values never keep the object,
  every run starts it at (null).

Objects inside lists and struct fields are left out on purpose.
Emptiness is checked with Equals against an empty b. A node "Is
valid" does not exist yet.

The test helper graphEditor().variables() now also reads the kinds
of a Variables asset a node points to.

Tests:
- ./check.sh: 169 files, 2463 tests, CHECK EXIT 0
- e2e 6 + 23: ALL PASSED, 146 checks (new 23k, 2 checks)
- e2e 32: ALL PASSED, 18 checks (new 32f-ii)
- 10 unit tests in tests/core/object-variable.test.ts, one of them
  runs a persistent asset over two runs
- 5 counter-probes (value in bag, isAlive always true, no Keep
  hand-over, Properties without slots, object in saved values) each
  fail their test
- e2e check total 1406, computed only

Plugins belong to the project, and they load before it: the project file gained the field plugins: ["demo-plugin.js"] (default empty, no formatVersion bump), the Plugins tab's switch writes into it as an ordinary undo step (SetPluginActiveCommand) instead of into a server-wide plugins.json, and the start order is turned around - startPlugins only fetches the list of files, then editor.boot() runs and ProjectStore.load(id, prepare) hands the raw JSON through before it is deserialized, where pluginsOf(raw) reads the list and PluginManager.syncTo() activates exactly those; that is the point of the issue, because what a plugin registers has to stand there before normalizeGraph would throw it away as unknown (#126, #127), a project switch first stops what the new project does not name and then starts what it does, a file the server does not have is passed over silently, and after signing out the manager is dead so a late event cannot start anything in a torn-down session; on the server plugins.json, PluginStore::setActive, isActive, the route PUT ?r=plugins/{file} and the 403 for inactive modules are gone and GET ?r=plugins only answers {file,bytes,updatedAt}, which makes every plugin file fetchable - the consequence accepted in #117, written down in the wiki for #115 and #116; publishPlugins(root) only copies files now, the seeder switches the demo plugin on in the fixture project, and the Plugins tab carries a puzzle piece as its icon while only a plugin's own tab still goes without one (the knob and the socket are cubic curves, not arcs, which Pixi's parser draws as a spike after an L); 3 new e2e checks in module 38 and 5 new unit tests cover the project as the owner of the switch, its undo, the order, pluginsOf against crude input and an unknown file name (#119)
