Prove the corner rolloff; document the one-press recorder

The stream harness gains rule 20: under M4 with the curve in force, the
accelerate-in head of a line renders less density at the default gamma
of 2 than at gamma 1 (0.317 against 0.537 on the host grid) while the
cruise middle renders identically - the exponent shapes only the
velocity-scaled rolloff, never the programmed level. The panel-serves
covers widen to the whole recorder (src/curverec.*). BRINGUP describes
the rolloff and the one-press recorder; the MOTION table gains
laser_corner_gamma; the panel help explains the knob.
