Fix the maximize border on the path that actually runs, and three spawn faults

The maximize border was still drawn because the earlier fix landed on the
wrong branch. udev/render.rs has three border blocks: the SRDWM_GPU=1 path
at the top and two Pixman ones below. The patch replaced the first match in
the file, which is the GPU branch a real DRM session never runs. All four
sites across both backends are now gated on !maximized.

The verification had failed twice for a separate reason: winit/capture.rs
did not draw border strips at all, so a screenshot could never answer "is
there a border here" and the control passed for the wrong reason. Border
strips are now drawn into that pass as solid fills - corner rounding is not
reproduced, so a capture is not pixel-exact at the corners, but presence,
position, thickness and colour are. With that closed the test has a real
control: unmaximized gives 6 accent pixels at x=800..805, exactly the
configured border_width, and maximized gives none at the right edge or along
the top row. That proves the winit path; the Pixman path is the same change
at two more sites and is not separately confirmed on screen.

Windows spawning as squares, partly off-screen, and always on the left were
all SmartPlacement::grid. It returned size.min(cell), shrinking every window
to its grid cell whatever size it asked for; it scanned cells in reading
order and took the first free one, which is the leftmost; and nothing clamped
the result, so a window larger than its cell could hang off the edge with its
border out of view. The cell now decides only where a window goes, the scan
starts from a rotating cell, and both grid and cascade clamp into the usable
area. Four tests, one per reported symptom.

525 tests pass, clippy clean.
