Fan funding: the price sets the fans needed; limited edition as a switch

The artist sets only the fan price; the number of fans needed follows from
it: the plant's 100-copy minimum, or the break-even if that is higher. The
goal selector of 6a62505 is removed from both demos.
make-a-record.html:
- step 4 leads with "Your price to fans" (input, slider from 300 THB,
presets 800 to 2,000) and a live "You need N fans to press it, X THB in
pre-orders", plus the price below which the minimum no longer covers
the costs (about 640 THB at the defaults)
- limited edition is now a switch, off by default; the edition size stays
visible but disabled until it is on, and switching it on adds the
numbered edition to the record
- "per title" renamed for end users: "One-off, for this release", "once +
per copy", "One-off setup", with a note that one-off costs count sides,
not songs (a double LP has four)
- the tour lowers the price to 500 THB and back to show the fans needed
rising from 100 to 152
artist-order.html: goal field removed, "Fans needed" label and hint.

Both demos show it in fans and as the pre-order amount (fans × fan

is charged to the fan separately at checkout, at cost.
