Adds custom, persisted names for the three aux timers, editable in the
editor settings and surfaced everywhere an aux title is shown.

- Persist `auxTimerNames` on the Settings object (default empty, falls
  back to the stock "Aux N" label when unset). Reuses the existing
  settings pipeline: validation sanitises to a fixed-length trimmed
  array, the parser normalises loaded/legacy data, and migrations carry
  the field forward.
- New "Aux timers" settings section to name each timer, plus a shortcut
  button next to the aux timers in the playback control that jumps
  straight to it.
- Resolve names via a shared getAuxTimerLabel helper in the aux timer
  control, Studio view, secondary-source selector and preview, and the
  automation action labels.

Addresses review feedback on the aux timer naming feature:

- Automation action labels now reference the timers by index
  ("Aux timer 1: start") rather than the custom names, keeping the
  automation config stable regardless of naming.
- Expose the custom names through the consumer-facing runtime interface:
  the aux timer objects broadcast over the websocket now carry a `name`
  field. Names are seeded from the persisted settings at bootstrap and
  kept in sync whenever the settings change, so every consumer (views and
  integrations) reads them from the same runtime data.
- The client control and view consumers now read the name from the
  runtime store instead of querying settings directly; the settings form
  remains the persisted editing source.

Addresses the review findings on the aux timer naming feature.

- Aux timer names are project data, but they were only applied at
  bootstrap and on a settings POST. Loading another project left the
  previous project's names in the runtime store, so the controls and
  views disagreed with the settings panel until a restart. The names are
  now applied when a project is loaded, and patching the current project
  settings applies them and sends a settings refetch to the clients
  (loading a project already triggers a full refetch via the rundown).
- Consolidate the name handling into a single normaliser in ontime-utils,
  used by the project file parser, the API validation and to build the
  default value. This creates the property when importing project files
  saved before the feature existed, and enforces the name length limit
  server side rather than only in the form.
- loadNames normalises its input, so the runtime state is consistent
  regardless of the shape of the stored settings.
- Clarify that auxTimerNames is ordered (index 0 is aux timer 1), and
  derive the settings form from the shared aux timer count.

- Revert the automation action labels back to "Aux N: action" (no
  functional reason to change this wording).
- Simplify the aux timers header in the playback control: the flex
  container now only handles layout, and the label text reuses the
  same font-size/color as the per-timer labels below it, instead of a
  bespoke style block duplicating those values.
- Replace the generic, length-driven normaliser with an explicit
  sanitiseAuxTimerNames() that always deals with exactly three timers,
  and rename it away from "normalise" (which didn't convey that it
  trims, caps length and fills in missing entries). Static defaults
  now use a plain ['', '', ''] literal instead of calling the
  sanitiser with no input to sanitise.
- Settings.type.ts and AuxTimerSettings.tsx no longer generate their
  three fields from a loop; the form mirrors the same explicit,
  one-field-per-row style already used by GeneralSettings.tsx.
- Trim comments that only restated what the following line already
  says, keeping the ones that explain non-obvious behaviour (why
  AuxTimerService needs to be resynced separately from the data
  provider, why SimpleTimer.reset() preserves the name).

… labels

- AuxTimer.tsx (editor playback control) now always shows the timer's
  index alongside its custom name, eg. "Aux 1: Speaker", instead of
  replacing the index entirely. Truncates to a single line with an
  ellipsis (and a title tooltip) so long names don't wrap and break the
  compact three-column layout.
- Revert the secondary-source select and its preview label
  (TimerViewControl.tsx, TimerPreview.tsx) back to plain "Aux 1/2/3" -
  these identify a fixed technical source, not the timer's identity, so
  they should stay stable regardless of naming.

The aux timer label sits inside a 3 column CSS grid. Grid items default
to min-width: auto, so their minimum width is set by their content -
with white-space: nowrap forcing that to the full unbroken name, the
column would grow to fit it instead of the ellipsis ever kicking in,
breaking the equal column layout for long names.

Set min-width: 0 on the label so it can shrink to its grid column, and
swap the native title attribute for the app's shared Tooltip component
so the full name is still available on hover, consistent with how
truncated text is handled elsewhere in the app.

Verified in the browser: a long name now truncates with an ellipsis
without disturbing the three-column layout, and hovering shows the
full name in a tooltip.

- Add a collapse toggle next to the aux timers settings shortcut,
  mirroring the chevron pattern already used for rundown groups. State
  persists in localStorage via the existing editorSettings store, so
  it's a durable per-user preference rather than resetting on reload.
  This matters most on small viewports, where the aux timer controls
  (3 rows) are a disproportionate cost relative to their usage.
- When collapsed, a small active-indicator dot appears next to the
  "Aux timers" label if any aux timer is currently running, so a
  running timer never goes silently invisible.
- Switch both header icon buttons (settings shortcut, collapse toggle)
  from the 'subtle' variant (blue, reserved for actions) to
  'subtle-white', matching how utility/navigation icon buttons are
  styled elsewhere (eg. the rundown group collapse chevron).

Verified in the browser: collapsing reclaims the three-row control
block, the indicator dot appears while a timer runs and the panel is
collapsed, and both icon buttons render white/gray instead of blue.
