Menu bar: sweeping glow on the mark instead of the in-flight dot - #340

While requests are running, the mark (or the numbers, in the numbers-only style) dims and a bright band sweeps across it: 1.3 s across, 0.5 s rest. It is a Core Animation mask on the status button's layer, so the render server drives it and the app does no per-frame work (about 0.4% CPU in a debug build, against about 4% for redrawing the button 20 times a second). The mask is rebuilt only when the button or image geometry changes, and the animation keeps a fixed begin time so the band does not restart. It is taken off while the menu is open (older macOS draws the highlight in the button) and stands still in the middle when Reduce Motion is on. bar_image takes an optional phase so previews and screenshots can draw a given frame; menubar_preview gains --glow to export one cycle of frames.
