Spotlight Question

Put the question on the big screen, taking off whichever was there: what a presenter does to say “let’s discuss this one”. Unlike toggling highlighted, calling it again leaves the question up. To take it off, PATCH it with highlighted: false; to move on, POST /events/{eventId}/queue/next. Needs questions:write.

When it moved into ANSWERED. Kept while it stays answered, so a second answer does not move it; cleared when it moves out.

editedAtdatetimeOptional
Set when the asker rewrote it after the room had voted.

Who asked. Absent on an anonymous question: the participant row exists so that one person cannot vote twice, and handing it back through a key would undo the promise made to whoever asked.
