Add a "remove card layer" effect when editing background #25

When the "edit background" menu item is chosen, make the card layer slide off as if it was a transparent piece of plastic containing the card-specific parts that gets pulled away towards the camera. This way, users get a better intuitive understanding of what is going on. Do a reverse of this effect when coming back to edit the card again.

While we're at it, we could also implement this effect as a visual effect, or even a whole group of effects (scroll card layer away to the side, scroll in new card layer, but leave background parts stationary).
