Files could only hand you the bytes: double-clicking a picture put it on
disk and left you to find it. The viewer for this already existed --
images, PDFs and text, in the attachment preview in MessageView -- it was
just wired to one screen. It is now a component both screens use.

Two things it needed before it was any use on Files. The type detection
falls back to the file name: an upload carries whatever the browser
guessed, which for anything unusual is application/octet-stream, so the
old exact-type check saw nothing to show in a .md that had just been
uploaded. And text is read with fetch, which ignores Content-Disposition,
so Markdown previews even though the server will not serve it inline.

Whether we can show a file and whether the server will serve it inline
are separate questions, and lib/preview.ts answers them separately:
`openableInTab` mirrors the isInlineSafe allowlist in the blob route,
because navigating to a blob the server will not inline just starts a
download. SVG is left out of both -- it carries script, and how to show
one safely is its own question, not a detail of a file lister.

Printing goes with it. A picture or a text file prints from the dialog
with everything else dropped; a PDF prints itself from its own iframe,
since the page around it cannot paginate someone else's document. Hiding
`.app` alone was not enough there -- `#root` kept its height and printed a
blank first page, the same trap as the message card.
