Keep mouse gestures working while a tool is running

Most commands on the empty-folio ring start a drawing tool, and the view
left the right button alone while a tool ran, so the gesture after one
that started a tool only cancelled the tool: every other gesture opened
the context menu instead of the ring.

Now a right drag always shows the ring. A running tool is ended when the
drag starts, as picking another tool from the toolbar would. A plain
right click still goes to the tool, which cancels or finishes it as
before.

Discussion #1033.
