Previously, when you loaded a custom layout (or the one remembered for
the current outline was loaded for you), any extraneous panes, i.e.
panes not used by the custom layout, were left off to one side.  This
was annoying, but seemed safer than closing them.

On second thoughts, it makes more sense to close them.  The free-layout
system already has mechanisms to avoid closing vital panes.  Now
switching between layouts does exactly what you'd expect, and doesn't
leave panes laying around the layout if they're not in the layout.

Ironically the itch which prompted this change was better solved by
another approach.  On top of all the short an long term project to-do
juggling I do with Leo, I wanted a *2* pane Leo window to track things
I'm going to do today, particular small tasks which might not be in my
regular todo tracking files, e.g. because someone just walked in to my
office and asked for something.

So basically I wanted a Leo layout like the attached.  Initially I used
the new pane closing layout loading behavior to close the tree pane,
and then switched to the tree tab in the log/tab pane.  But this was
only so so because every time a log message appeared it hid the tree
tab.  So now the layout is Leo's regular 3 pane layout, with the
log/tab pane on the left set to zero width.
