fix: resolve ONNX CUDA fallback, Docker e2e infrastructure, and all test failures

- Add safe_onnx_session() to gpu.py with graceful CUDA EP → CPU fallback
- Replace bare ort.InferenceSession() calls across colorize, restore, inpaint, remove_bg
- Add libcublas-12-6 to production Dockerfile for ONNX Runtime CUDA EP
- Add skipIfFeatureNotInstalled guards to remove-bg, blur-faces, smart-crop, ocr, noise-removal e2e specs
- Add AI tool install prompt detection in tools-all.spec.ts
- Add smart-crop to PYTHON_SIDECAR_TOOLS so frontend shows install prompt correctly
- Create Dockerfile.test.dockerignore to include tests/ in test image builds
- Add libheif-examples and exiftool to Dockerfile.test for HEIC and metadata tests
- Regenerate visual regression baselines for Docker/Linux and skip on non-Docker platforms
