feat(D.2b): wire UiHost + live retail Vitals panel (render-only); retire TS-30

Browse source 
Wires the dormant AcDream.App/UI retained-mode tree into GameWindow under
ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1: an 8-piece dat-sprite UiNineSlicePanel framing three
UiMeter vital bars bound to the existing VitalsVM. Render-only (UiHost input not
yet bridged to the InputDispatcher — next sub-phase). Coexists with the ImGui
devtools path; no regression there.

Visually verified against a live retail client: the bars match retail's vitals
structure (three stacked horizontal bars, current/max numbers centered) — so the
earlier "orbs" assumption was wrong (retail vitals ARE bars), and stamina is GOLD
not cyan (the #10F0F0 research note was wrong). UiMeter gains a centered numeric
Label (stub debug font for now). Spec §8 + the markup example corrected to match.

Bookkeeping: retired divergence row TS-30 (flat-rect panels -> real dat chrome)
and added IA-15 (our UiHost/markup engine vs keystone.dll's LayoutDesc tree).

Remaining polish (filed, §15): glassy gradient bar fill sprite + the retail dat
font for the numbers.
