Downhill sloped belts draw as plain belts, ghosts and previews too

Downhill runs have no cleats, so they no longer draw the sidewall or
ribs either: placed, as ghosts, or in the drag preview, which now knows
the belt's direction. Uphill runs keep the wall and ribs.

- **No cleats on downhill belts (t42 feedback, 2026-10-26).** The owner asked why a downhill
belt has cleats: on 45° the load slides anyway. A downhill sloped belt is now a plain belt with
a sidewall that carries at belt speed like a flat one (90 grains/s); only uphill runs have
ribs. A whole run also shares one cleat phase, so pieces added later line up with it.
