Cycle checkboxes with the mouse wheel

Scrolling over a checkbox glyph cycles its state
unchecked -> partial -> checked (and back), respecting scroll direction:
wheel up steps forward, wheel down steps in reverse. Left-click still
toggles checked/unchecked.

The shared rewriteCheckbox helper applies a state-mapping function to the
Nth cookie; toggleCheckbox and the new cycleCheckbox are thin callers.
