ExPikaPaka 3ee9c02acf feat: sharpen, two colours, and remove background in the Image tool
Three more corrections, chosen because the output is a handful of flat
filament colours rather than a continuous image: what helps is whatever
decides which filament an area lands in and where the boundary between two
of them falls.

- Sharpen. An unsharp mask over the colour, reusing the sliding-window blur
  the Smoothing slider already uses, run per channel. Worth more here than
  in a photo editor: a soft edge between two colours quantizes into a ragged
  band of both, and sharpening first makes it land in one place.

- Two colours. Thresholds on luma so a logo or line art prints in exactly
  two filaments instead of speckling across several, with the split point on
  a slider.

- Remove background. The one that is not an RGB transform. DecodedHeightTexture
  gains an alpha plane, filled from the source PNG's fourth channel when it
  has one, and the key additionally clears whatever colour the picture's four
  corners share. A transparent texel is not black: sample_layer_color()'s
  covered() now reports it the same way it reports being outside an untiled
  placement, so the triangle keeps the object's own colour and the bake needs
  no new concept. The preview follows: upload_color_texture() box-filters
  coverage into the alpha channel it used to fill with 255, and the shader
  leaves the surface alone where it is below half.

The corners rather than an eyedropper: a background that does not reach all
four of them is not a background, and a picker would be a second interaction
for the case this exists to make one click. The median of the four is taken
so one stray corner cannot decide it.

Measured on Tartan, a cube face, four filaments:

  run                    out tris  coloured  max offset mm  filament shares
  image, no correction      22534     14544       0.000005  1:91% 3:8% 4:1%
  image, sharpen 1.0        24780     16783       0.000004  1:84% 3:12% 4:3%

  image, bg removed         14120      2620       0.000005  1:29% 3:16% 4:55%

Background removal cuts the painted area from 14544 triangles to 2620, which
is the whole point of it; the threshold collapses to two filaments; sharpen
shifts the shares and adds boundary triangles. None of them moves the
surface. The probe's default scene is now Tartan rather than Colour Bricks,
which has too little luma range for the threshold to show anything.
