Offer three denoise networks and a method to choose between them

AI Denoise's Apply switch becomes Method: Bilinear, Fast, Medium, Best,
default Best, so an untouched raw writes nothing and develops through the
mixture. `apply` is still read and never written: 0 is Bilinear, 1 keeps
a network already chosen.

- Best is the mixture of a flat and an edge expert with a learned gate;
  Medium and Fast are students distilled from it. 2.48 s, 0.79 s and
  0.57 s for a 20 MP frame on TensorRT fp16.
- Each network carries its own tile border (256 for the mixture, 192 for
  the students) through `dr_denoise::Shipped` and `TileNet::halo`.
- The file is hashed once at open and each network keys its own cached
  result; Bilinear keeps the result in memory for the way back.
- Each has an .a16w16 sibling for the Hexagon: 0.00 dB on the 6D gate,
  at most 0.11 dB with the noise scaled x0.5 to x4.
- APK BUNDLED 19 -> 23; the PKGBUILD installs all three.

A U-Net of plain 3×3 convolutions, ReLU, strided and transposed
U-Nets of plain 3×3 convolutions, ReLU, strided and transposed
convolutions and additive skips — no third-party architecture code or
weights — at a fixed `1×1×1408×1408` for `mosaic` and `sigma`, exported by
`python -m denoise.export` in `darkroom-denoise`. Trained only on
weights — and, for Best, two of them blended per photosite by a small gate
network of the same parts. Each at a fixed `1×1×1408×1408` for `mosaic`
and `sigma`, exported by `python -m denoise.export` in `darkroom-denoise`;
the `.a16w16.onnx` siblings are the same networks quantised for the
Hexagon by `tools/quantise-models.sh`. Trained only on
photographs the maintainer owns, so the weights carry no grant but the
project's own: GPL-3.0-or-later, like the code (denoise.md §10).
