Save and restore grid column widths

Now preserving column widths for the three DataGrids and the main
ListView.  In theory the various grids would conveniently auto-size
to the content, but in practice that doesn't work well with
virtualization.

There is, of course, no simple "the width has changed" event
provided by the control.  On the plus side, you can attach a
property-change event handler to pretty much anything, so once you
know the trick it's possible to make everything work.  Yay WPF.
