Save and Export: the status bar's hover lists every note
A save or an export with several notes named only the first of them in the status bar, with the count, and the others could not be seen. The status bar now keeps every note of a save or an export for the status message's hover, as it does for an open's notes since #6752: resting the pointer on the message lists them in the order the reply gives them (a save's notes start with what the format loses), and screen readers receive the list after the message. The status text is unchanged. This covers Save, Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template, Save a Timestamped Copy, Save as PDF, Export As, Export Selection, Export for Screens, Asset Export, Save for Web, Preview in Browser, Save for Office Documents, Text Export Options, a print to a file and the CSS Properties panel's export. The open, the saves and the exports read a reply's notes through one helper. Docs: docs/mcp.md and the css.exportFile params text, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
