also, remove the "Research" title to have more screen space for the research tree

Both halves fixed in 5f1b5a9.

The LOCAL column was not merely equal to BANKED, it was the same store read
twice: the research action lives on the mothership, the mothership also carries
the "bank" capability, and GameState.building_inventory() redirects any
bank-capable building to bank_inventory itself. ResourceBar now drops LOCAL
wherever it resolves to the bank, and the two survivors share the freed width.
Anywhere the local stock is genuinely its own - a crafter, a lab, the transfer
panel - the column is untouched.

The "Research" heading went with it. It named a screen you can only reach by
pressing the research button, and it cost the tree 128px; the table moved up
into that space and the tree canvas took the rest.

Covered by tests/test_research_bar_columns.gd: the research table shows only
BANKED and FLEET, the two columns tile the full width with no hole where the
third was, a crafter still gets its LOCAL column, and there is no heading left
above the table.
