3feebb9b13 Groups: a pass-through clipping base with an adjustment renders isolated (passthrough_clipping_mask_adjustment passes) (#5272)
* Posterize: 16-bit documents bin the 16-bit sample, as Photoshop does

At 16 bits Photoshop doesn't round to 8-bit levels before binning. It
bins the 16-bit sample, floor(v16 * n / 32768), and lands on 8-bit levels
through a 16-bit step: floor(b * 32768 / (n - 1)), converted with
floor((o * 255 + 16384) / 32768). So the middle of 3 levels is 128 where
8 bits give 127, while 42.5 and 25.5 stay 42 and 25.

Exact on every sample of psd-tools posterize_16bits_rgb (levels 3, 7,
13, 21) and posterize_16bits_grayscale (2, 6, 9, 11); the 8-bit rule
missed up to half the range at bin edges. The same rule applies to
CMYK and Lab channels at 16 bits: on the stored inks (#4945's native
path) psd-tools posterize_16bits_cmyk goes from 4.26 % to 0.01 % of
pixels off. 8-bit Posterize is unchanged.

The GPU kernel runs the same rule; 16-bit layers reach it as half
floats, so a sample within their precision of a bin edge can land in
the neighbouring bin there (the CPU, which exports, is exact).

psd-tools 239 -> 241; floor 236 -> 241.

* Groups: a pass-through clipping base with an adjustment renders isolated

A pass-through group composites its children straight into the
backdrop, so an adjustment layer inside reaches the layers beneath.
When the group is the base of a clipping group and holds an adjustment
layer, Photoshop renders it isolated instead: in psd-tools
passthrough_clipping_mask_adjustment an Exposure in such a group leaves
the layers beneath alone (we darkened them: half the image 170 levels
off). The same group with a Linear Dodge child and no adjustment keeps
reaching the backdrop (passthrough_clipping_mask_blendmode), and so do
clipping-mask3/4/5, so the rule is the adjustment, not the clipping
alone (isolating every pass-through clipping base broke those two).

CPU compositor and GPU plan alike. psd-tools 239 -> 240; floor 240.
