feat: dial and orbit, where the separator is the geometry

[timzifer]

Two renderers built from the observation that a semantic version is already
punctuated. Each component gets a field of its own, and the field boundary is
the dot.

• dial — the separator is an angle. Four quadrants, read clockwise from
  noon; the spokes between them are the dots.
• orbit — the separator is a radius. Four concentric rings, major
  innermost, read outwards in the order the version is written.

Within a field the value is written in binary, one cell per bit, most
significant first: outermost band in dial, first cell clockwise from noon in
orbit. Binary rather than a tally because version components are unbounded
and a tally stops being readable somewhere around sixteen. The field width is
shared by all four fields and rounded up to a whole nibble, so the mark reads
as a table and cells can be counted in fours by eye.

1.0.0  →  1.0.1  →  1.0.2  →  1.1.0  →  2.0.0

One cell moves per patch. That is the point, not a defect.

Ordered, and this time provably so

Both are Ordered, like cistercian: nothing is hashed, so the suite holds
them to uniqueness rather than to the distance thresholds.

Unlike cistercian, they ship a decoder. TestCodexRoundTrip reads the
number back out of the cells for values up to the full range of uint64, so
injectivity is demonstrated rather than argued.

Why the empty cells are drawn

With only the set bits shown, a small version lights a handful of cells at one
end of its field and the rest of the mark is blank — no visible grid, nothing
to count against, no way to tell which bit position a lit cell belongs to. The
faint ghost cells turn the mark into a form with boxes to tick, which is the
difference between a mark that can be read and one that merely could be in
principle.

The prerelease field

Hash bits from the prerelease stream, not a number: there is no useful ordering
over rc.1 against beta.2. The field says that this is a prerelease and
which one, without pretending to be legible — and an empty field means a
release, which is the distinction that matters at a glance.
