Show AI denoise in the manual on sharp, noisy frames

The ISO 8000 Brooklyn Bridge frame was soft at 1:1 before any denoising,
so it could not show that Best keeps detail. The section now shows five
sharp frames from ISO 4000 to 16000, each at 1:1 where hard edges meet
flat areas, Bilinear beside Best: a subway poster, a cathedral portal, a
circus clock, a clinic sign and graffiti. Fast is described, not shown.

at_develop opens a DNG when the name carries its extension. The scene
now fails when Best never lands instead of capturing the undenoised
frame twice.

`Strength` eases it off: below 100 % it puts back some of what was removed,
as grain without colour, for a picture that does not look too smooth.
The lamp and railing of a night frame at ISO 8000, at 1:1, by each method:
Five sharp photographs at high ISO, each at 1:1 where hard edges meet
flat areas, as the camera's ordinary conversion gives them and as `Best`
develops them. The grain goes from the flat paper, stone, canvas and paint; the
lines, the lettering and the carving keep their edges:

It works on raw files from any camera with the usual colour pattern of
red, green and blue squares — not on JPEGs, and not yet on Fujifilm's
