feat(ui): modifier profile editor shell + rules drawer entry

Adds ModifierProfileEditor modal shell with 3 placeholder panels
(T21 catalog / T22 board preview / T23 profile list). Esc closes
the modal via a window keydown listener active only while isOpen.

Wires a 'Modifier Profiles' button into the RulesDrawer footer that
opens the editor. Adds e2e/modifier-profiles.spec.ts with 2 tests:
open-from-drawer and esc-to-close.
