fix(queue): overlay the content instead of taking its width

The panel is flex-shrink: 0 in the flow of .content-area, so an open
queue was paid for by the main panel rather than covering it. Measured
on Playlists: 379px of content left at 900x600 with all three of the
page header's actions clipped, 69px at 390px, and 0px at 320px — where
the content was not degraded but gone.

It goes to an overlay with a scrim when the content cannot spare the
width, and the rule is computed rather than breakpointed:
`available - panelWidth < 480`, where available is .content-area's
width and so already accounts for the sidebar's collapse at 900. A
media query cannot express this, which is the reason for the property:
the panel is drag-resizable between 200 and 500px and persisted, so a
viewport breakpoint silently assumes the default 320 and is wrong by up
to 180px for a user who widened it — in the direction that hurts, since
a wider queue is exactly when the content can least afford it.

480 is a judgement and the comment says so: there is no cliff to derive
it from (the track list rescales continuously, 213px to 124px columns
with no row overflow), so it is anchored to keep the default 1100px
window inline while putting every measured-broken case on the overlay
side.

The overlay is a presentation and not a fork — #55 asks for one
component with two mount points — so the roving tab stop, Alt+Arrow
reorder, drag reorder and selection semantics are untouched. Escape
closes it and returns focus, attached only while the overlay is up: it
is a dismissal rather than a shortcut, which is why it is not a
panel-scoped binding. The scrim covers the content area only, not the
sidebar or the transport, because the queue is not modal.

/**
* The narrowest main panel the queue is allowed to leave behind before
* it stops being a column and becomes an overlay (plan 018, issue #24).
*
* There is no cliff to derive this from, and pretending otherwise would
* be the more dishonest answer: the track list rescales its columns
* continuously (213px down to 124px between main widths of 900 and 544,
* with no row overflow at any of them) and the album grid steps 3
* columns to 2 without breaking. So this is a judgement, anchored at
* both ends — it keeps the *default* 1100px window inline, because an
* inline queue is a desktop affordance people choose and demoting the
* common case to an overlay would be a regression in feel; and it puts
* every case measured as broken on the overlay side, which is 900x600
* (main = 379px, where all three of the Playlists header's actions are
* clipped) and every phone width (main = 69px at 390, 0px at 320).
