#783: Object Matte tracks in the background and freezes

Problem: Object Matte computed its frames only on demand while rendering, so
playing a shot stalled on every untracked frame, there was no progress or way
to stop, and nothing kept the mattes once computed.

Fix: Object Matte runs through Roto Brush's job machinery (one job slot,
cancellable with roto.cancel, a worker thread on the desktop, a Web Worker in
the browser, never the UI thread). objectMatte.propagate computes the frames
around the reference frame (clipped to the layer) outward, filling the same
content-keyed segmentation cache the renderer reads; the engine's sync now
queues an instance for background tracking when its frames or prompt change.
objectMatte.freeze stores the final mattes in a new hidden Frozen parameter
(Roto Brush's FrozenCache format) under a key of the input, prompt, span,
model and matte settings; renders use them without segmenting while the key
matches; a frozen prompt is refused until objectMatte.unfreeze. Freeze is one
undo step and is dropped if the prompt changed meanwhile.
objectMatte.status reports progress, frozen state and computed frames. Effect
Controls shows Freeze / Unfreeze and Track / Stop with a status line (progress
banner). The frontend now polls Roto Brush / Object Matte jobs on their own:
before, a finished job (and so a Freeze result) was only picked up while a
Warp Stabilizer job was active. Job progress is set before the worker starts.

Tests: engine tests_roto::object_matte_background_job_cancel_and_freeze
(queued by the edit, returns at once with progress, cancel keeps a partial
result, completion computes all 25 frames, frozen renders recompute nothing,
unfreeze recomputes, undo restores); effects object_matte job_frames and
frozen-matte tests (stored pattern used, key mismatch and damaged data
ignored); ui-egui ui_object_matte Effect Controls Freeze end to end.

EffectCraft ships 307 effects with 3028 parameters in total, grouped into the same categories as the Effects & Presets panel. Every effect is our own implementation, written from public behaviour descriptions and standard image-processing literature. Parameter names, order, popup options, units, defaults and ranges follow the reference application so that projects, expressions and muscle memory carry over.

- **GPU**: 280 effects also run on the GPU compositor with identical results.
- **32**: 307 effects process 32-bit float (HDR, overbright) pixels without clamping.
