Vista gets its own button (row 2, next to APPS)

The Art-Net heartbeat moves from APPS to a VISTA tile ("VISTA / SILENT";
"VISTA SILENT" on SHOW and ALL), hold starts Vista if it is not running.
SHOW now groups MIDI, APPS and VISTA. Tested live before the move: closing
Vista and Resolume alarmed, and each hold brought them back (Vista 5 s,
Arena 9 s after the hold).
