Run the view transform after the detail stage, in a pass of its own

The fused pass stops at "linear working values" when a sharpener, a
blur or a repair follows, and the detail passes convolve what it hands
on. Until now it handed on the rendering: the base curve, and since the
last commit the view transform, ran before the store. So every kernel
worked on display-referred values while its comments promised the
opposite — D19's second finding.

A fused pass composed for a detail stage now stops before the view
transform, and carries a second shader, `ComposedShader::view`, composed
from the same inputs. It runs the same prologue, for the positions a
fragment reads (a film's grain seeds from `source_px`) and the corners
it blacks out, takes its colour from the detail stage's result bound
where the sample cache would be, and runs the view transform, the
output transform and the mask reveal. `render_detailed` dispatches it
after the last detail pass, in the same encoder.

So no detail pass encodes any more. Every pass writes an intermediate,
the last one included, which retires three things that existed only to
make the last pass encode: `writes_output` and the runner's second
layout, the body-less resolve pass for an active kernel with nothing to
draw at this scale, and capture sharpening's pass-through, which now
emits no pass at all. An empty chain is a whole render: the view pass
reads the fused result directly. The detail stage no longer takes an
output space either, so `compose_detail_for` folds into
`compose_detail` and the space is named once, on the fused half.

The cost is one full-render read and write per frame when a detail
stage exists, and a third intermediate for a one-pass chain.
