adjust `racket/gui' and dependencies to survive a locked preference file

- adds a `#:timeout-lock-there' argument to `get-preference'
 - fixes preference looup in `racket/gui'
 - make preference names consistently use `GRacket' and consistently
   fall back on `MrEd' names
 - fix Emacs-style undo mode while we're at it
