fix #375: Configure Keyboard live mount — string resolver + parked template prototypes

Browse source 
Campaign OP gate 2: the screen opened as a visual mess (textless
buttons/tabs, buttons above the window, overlapping text) while the
fixture conformance suite stayed green — the #372 class again. Two root
causes, both proven by the new env-gated live-DAT probe before fixing:

1. MountKeyboardConfig's main LayoutImporter.Build was the ONE mount in
   RetailUiRuntime not passing strings.Resolve — every AUTHORED caption
   (OK/Cancel/Defaults/Revert/Load/Save, the six ActionClass tab labels,
   the Command/Mapping column headers) built empty, while the
   controller's own resolveString row captions worked, which is why the
   screen was recognizable but textless. Fixed by passing the resolver
   like every sibling mount.

2. gmKeyboardUI authors its ListBox row templates (header 0x1000002E,
   action row 0x1000002F with the three 100x32 key buttons) as TOP-LEVEL
   siblings referenced by dat property 0x64. Retail never instantiates
   template-list elements as live widgets (AddItemFromTemplateList
   clones from the desc — the same re-import UiTemplateListBox's
   TemplateResolver performs), but ImportInfos built them parked at the
   screen's (0,0): three key buttons at y=0..32 ABOVE the framed panel
   (top y=62) — the 'outside the window' buttons — under a 570x40
   header text overlapping them and the top chrome. ImportInfos now
   skips top-level elements referenced by a SAME-LAYOUT template list
   (the same skip class as the existing BaseElement-prototype filter;
   same-layout only because element ids collide across layouts —
   0x10000211 is a page in BOTH the options and keyboard layouts).

The probe (ACDREAM_PROBE_LIVE_MOUNT=1) pins both against the real DATs:
prototypes absent from the built tree, and Defaults/Revert/OK/Cancel
resolving on the resolver-passing build. Post-fix the import collapses
to the framed 600x476 panel with every screen button inside its bounds.

Full Release suite: 13,082 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed.

## OP8 — Configure Keyboard
> **Gate-2 re-test note (#375):** the first look at this screen was a
> visual mess — textless buttons/tabs, stray buttons above the window,
> overlapping text. Two root causes, both fixed: the screen's build was
> missing its string resolver (every authored caption rendered empty),
> and the row-template prototypes (a header + a three-button row) were
> being built as live widgets parked at the screen's top-left. Expect
> now: captioned tabs (Movement/Camera/Combat/UI/CharacterSettings/
> Emotes), captioned buttons (Defaults/Revert/OK/Cancel, Load File.../
> Save As...), Command + Mapping 1-3 column headers, and NOTHING
> rendered above or outside the framed panel.
