feat(menu): Look & Feel category — theme, wallpaper, night light (item 19)

The gate was >=3 appearance entries and it's met: the root's Theme row
becomes "Look & Feel" (pango-escaped & — the root passes
-markup-rows; matched on *Look*), a new lookfeel submenu carries the
Theme grid (SUPER+T hint), Next wallpaper (SUPER+SHIFT+T hint via the
new generalized hintForAction, which menuHint is now sugar over), and
the Night light toggle moved out of System — which thins by one row.
The root stays at six entries; both direct binds still hit the leaves.

Verified: V0; V1 — rendered menu passes bash -n with the mode, escaped
label and relocated night-light row; visual — tokyo-night 1080p
capture renders "Look & Feel" correctly with hints intact. Submenu
flow queued for a session test (HARDWARE-QUEUE).
