Layout's three bands are nav rows

Top Menu, Content, Footer — the layout IS a page, and those are the only three things on it. They were
reachable by scrolling and by knowing which tab held what; as rows they take the shape the nav already
teaches with the pages under Pages, and the open one is `band` in the query string.

Fixed rather than fetched, unlike pages. A band cannot be added or removed from the admin — only the
code that draws it can — so reading them from the database would be a query that can only ever return
the same three rows in the same order.

Layout's three bands, as rows under Layout.
The layout IS a page — a header, the slot a page goes in, and a footer — and those three are the
only things on this screen. They were reachable by scrolling and by knowing which tab held what;
as rows they are the same shape as the pages under Pages, which is the shape the nav already
teaches.
Fixed rather than fetched: unlike pages, these three are structural. A band cannot be added or
removed from the admin, only the code that draws it can, so a list read from the database would
be a query that can only ever return the same three rows.
