Simplify Models panel and dialog layout

Models panel: replace the manual resizeEvent column-sizing hack with
QHeaderView Stretch/Fixed modes, re-applied via sectionCountChanged so
they survive the model rebuilds that QHeaderView resets them on.

Dialog: only wrap the body in a QScrollArea when scrollable, mirroring
Panel. The scroll area caps its sizeHint at 36x24 cells, which turned
wide fixed-size dialog content into spurious scrollbars.

Add Model dialog: reserve a stable, font-metrics-measured height for the
hover description so longer text never reflows the buttons; regroup the
buttons into LOCAL / CLOUD / TOOLS.

Buttons: move the trailing-separator decision out of makeButtonGroup
into a new addButtonGroups row builder, so the last group in a row
never draws a dangling divider.
