fix: pin torch cu126 for GPU compatibility and fix cross-platform bugs

- Pin torch==2.6.0+cu126 and torchvision==0.21.0+cu126 in feature
  manifest to prevent NCCL symbol mismatch on CUDA 12.6 base images
- Move lpips after torch in install order to prevent wrong version
  resolution from PyPI
- Add einops to upscale-enhance common deps (required by SCUNet)
- Update cpu_fallback_packages to handle multi-package CUDA torch
  entries on amd64 without GPU
- Fix gpu.py ONNX CUDA detection: replace hardcoded .so path with
  cross-platform session smoke-test
- Fix os.dup(1) crashes on Windows in upscale, enhance_faces, and
  noise_removal by wrapping in try/except with sys.stderr fallback
- Guard top-level numpy/cv2 imports in colorize.py and restore.py
  with helpful error messages
- Add weights_only=False fallback for torch.load in noise_removal
- Fix integration tests to accept 501 for uninstalled AI features
  and 422 for missing system tools (exiftool, libheif)
