Walkthrough

The picker now supports runtime preview visibility and maximized layout toggles. Users can trigger them through default keymaps, Neovim commands, or the public API.

Changes: Picker Controls

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime toggle state and layout `lua/fff/picker_ui/picker_ui_state.lua`, `lua/fff/picker_ui/picker_ui.lua`, `lua/fff/picker_ui/layout_manager.lua`, `lua/fff/picker_ui/ui_creator.lua`	The picker tracks preview and maximize overrides. Toggling either while the picker is active clears cached status information and relayouts. The layout uses the effective preview setting and expands to full width and height when maximized. Closing the picker resets both overrides.
Public toggle controls `lua/fff/conf.lua`, `lua/fff/main.lua`, `plugin/fff.lua`, `lua/fff/picker_ui/ui_creator.lua`, `README.md`	The default keymaps are `<A-p>` for preview and `<A-m>` for maximize. The public API and Neovim commands expose both toggles. The README documents the API, commands, and default keymaps.

Explanation

Issue [#119] requires a keybinding to show or hide the preview. The PR adds toggle_preview with default <A-p>, installs it in the input, list, and preview buffers, and implements runtime preview toggling with relayout and preview updates. No separate automated-test criterion exists in the issue.

overrides in the copied configuration alongside setting `config.layout.width`
and `config.layout.height` to `1.0`, so `layout.compute` places the fullscreen
picker without a manual offset.

Clear manual positions when maximizing.

If layout.col or layout.row is configured, layout.compute applies that position after calculating the fullscreen size. The maximized picker remains offset and can be clipped. Clear those overrides in the copied configuration when maximizing.

Bind keys when the preview buffer is created later.

If preview starts disabled, setup_keymaps() skips this block because S.preview_buf does not exist. Toggling preview on creates the buffer in open_preview(), but does not install its close, focus, select, or toggle mappings. Install the preview-buffer mappings when open_preview() creates that buffer.

These two are two of the features that I miss from FFF ui and because of it I had to use snacks picker as a frontend for FFF since it has both toggle_preview and toggle_maximize.

I can update anything if needed or split the PR into two distinct PRs, first for toggle_maximize and the second for toggle_preview.
