feat(pan): interactive PAN mode with left-drag (no middle button needed)

The PAN command/tool dispatched a command nobody handled, so it did
nothing. Combined with no middle mouse button on a trackpad/web client,
there was no way to pan at all (issue 164).

PAN (and the "P" alias) now enters a pan mode: a left-button drag pans the
view, reusing the existing middle-button pan path. Exit with Esc or by
starting another command. While active the crosshair is hidden and the
cursor becomes a hand (open when hovering, closed while dragging). PAN/P
are also added to command-line autocomplete.
