Plants mode: recent-planted quick strip + clump/rows fill (#100)

Two things Steve asked for, both in the #99 Plants mode:

- A "Recent" strip of the plants most recently planted IN THIS GARDEN
  (recentlyPlantedIds — derived from actual plantings, newest first, unique;
  NOT the manual localStorage tray), as tap-to-arm chips. So re-planting
  "more of the same" is one tap, no picker. Hidden until something's planted.
- A clump/rows fill control (FillControl), shown once a plant is armed:
  pick a layout, "Fill bed", and it runs POST /objects/:id/fill region=all
  with the chosen layout — the #77 grid/clump fill the UI could NOT reach
  before (it was agent/REST only). Defaults to rows (a real planting).
  useFillObject mirrors useClearObject: one request, invalidate /full.

Both live in the shared PlantPlacementTools, so desktop's focus toolbar and
the mobile Plants strip get them identically. Fill is capped/validated
server-side (#95) and covered spots are skipped, so re-filling is safe.

Verified live at 390px: the Recent strip shows this garden's tomato/lettuce/
garlic; arming a chip reveals Clump|Rows + Fill bed; fill fires cleanly.
tsc + vitest (95, incl. recentlyPlantedIds) + build green. DESIGN updated.
