9a9d23d258 Levels: black, gray and white point eyedroppers (#3116) (#3128)
* Curves: pencil mode, Smooth and Edit points (#3088)

The Curves editor (Image > Adjustments dialog and the adjustment layer's
Properties panel) gains Photoshop's "Edit points to modify the curve" and
"Draw to modify the curve" buttons plus Smooth, with tooltips. A drawn
curve is a 256-level map per channel, evaluated piecewise-linearly.

- doc: Adjustment::Curves gains `pencil` (serde default), with
  curve_map / curve_map_outputs helpers.
- compose: curve_map_lut / curve_lut_mode for drawn curves.
- engine: curves params take `pencil` and `smooth`; channels accept
  256-level maps; switching modes draws the spline into maps or fits up to
  16 points to the drawing. Eyedroppers fit points first.
- io: the PSD `curv` map flag (first byte, psd-tools `is_map`) was read
  as padding, so pencil curves from Photoshop were misparsed; they are now
  read and written as 256-byte maps, and smart-filter Curves use `Mpng`.
- scorecard UI-217-15 note updated.

* Properties: Curves adjustment layers get the black/gray/white eyedroppers (#3110)

The Set Black/Neutral Gray/White Point pickers existed only in the
Image > Adjustments > Curves dialog (#873). The Properties editor of a
Curves adjustment layer now has them too (layer_picker.rs): with one
armed, a click on the image runs one layer.setAdjustment with the new
`eyedropper` param, which samples the image below the layer (the layer
hidden, like its Properties histogram) at the Eyedropper's Sample Size,
so a repeated click keeps the curve and the edit is one undoable,
recordable step agents can send directly. Esc, another tool or another
layer disarms it; ui.pointer and ui.inspect (`layerPicker`) cover it.

Scorecard UI-217-15 is done.

* Levels: black, gray and white point eyedroppers (#3116)

Image > Adjustments > Levels and a Levels adjustment layer's Properties
panel get Photoshop's Set Black/Neutral Gray/White Point eyedroppers.
Black/white move each channel's input black/white to the sample, gray
sets each channel's midtone gamma so the sample turns neutral at its
luma (Grayscale: composite input, no gray). The engine takes the same
`eyedropper` param as Curves on image.adjustments.levels,
layer.newAdjustmentLayer.levels and layer.setAdjustment.

On a smart object, image.adjustments.levels/curves with `eyedropper`
now record the resolved adjustment as the smart filter instead of the
raw sample, which re-rendered as an identity (#3127).
