Libedit: transfer current screen settings on part load

When loading a part in libedit, also transfer certain screen
settings to the incoming SCH_SCREEN, from the current
SCH_SCREEN.

Currently, the grid settings are transferred, but this could
also do other settings if needed.

Also remove some duplicate commentary and mention why the
grid is set in a SCH_SCREEN even though the BASE_SCREEN ctor
sets the same default.
