Add delete to the selection bar and drop the in-header close button

The selection bar covered copying but not the other action people reach
for with a selection. The header also carried a second close button next
to the window's own traffic light, so it was removed in favor of that.

-- **Click to copy** — text notes go back as text, photos go back as images.

+  and the selection bar copies a single item as-is, the whole selection as a

+- **Text or photo** — copying sends text back as text and a photo back as an
+  image.
 - **Capture from anywhere** — select text in any app and tap **Left Shift twice**.
 - **Photos** — paste (Cmd+V), drag & drop, or add via the photo button.
 - **Workspaces** — type `# Name` in the composer, or use "New Workspace" in
   the Cmd+K switcher (which opens a name modal); Cmd+K switches, and the
   up/down arrows in the switcher reorder them. (The code and the saved JSON
   still call these `sections` so existing data keeps working.)

-  Shift+Cmd+C / Option+Cmd+C. The same menu deletes, moves or merges the
