dashboard: messages follow the line they went over
Dots and flashes ran straight from sender to receiver, whatever line the message took: a PING over another transport, drawn as a curved line beside the one in use, crossed the map off its line. Each message now runs along the line it went over, as drawn (`route`: the link's quadratic curve, its control point where renderGraph put it): a message naming the address it went to (the paths layer's PINGs and PONGs) over that address's transport's line, any other over the line in use; a flash's streak bends with it.
