ispyisail 02de705a9c Document terminal strips, 9k lines of shipped feature with no user docs
sources/TerminalStrip/ is 66 files and ~9,250 lines, and the words
"terminal strip" appeared on the wiki only in the roadmap, history,
vision and contributing pages -- discussed as a topic, never documented
as a feature.

Covers the part that actually causes confusion: the three-layer model of
strip / physical terminal / real terminal, where a physical terminal's
several real terminals are its levels, ordered back to front from the
mounting plate. Also the six conditions a selection must meet to be
bridgeable (the reason the button greys out), free terminals that exist
in the strip but on no folio, the four-level ceiling in the drawing that
the data model itself does not impose, and the <terminal_strips> XML.

States the honest caveats: the menu entry is labelled (DEV) in the
shipped source, and no example project contains strip data -- verified,
the 143 "terminal_strips" hits in industrial.qet are all element
collection paths, not strip data.
