Subject: [PATCH] Gap 21: percentage guides and effect colour labels (#1095)

Guides can store a percent of the comp so they follow comp-size changes
(View > Add Percentage Guide, Convert Guides to Percentage / Pixels); an
effect instance has an optional colour label (effect.setLabel, Effect Controls
header bar and Label menu). Both are serde-defaulted, so old projects load.
