CC Particle World: motion blur smears particles across the shutter (#1195)

With the comp's and the layer's motion-blur switches on, the renderer
hands effects the shutter (angle, phase, samples) — CC Particle World
now uses it: eight to sixty-four sprite fields sampled across the shutter
are averaged into the transfer, so fast particles draw the motion trails
After Effects shows instead of one sharp frozen field.

The GPU particle pass defers to the CPU while the shutter is open
(catalog::gpu_supported), keeping the oracle identical on both backends.

Tests: sim::particle_world_motion_blur_trails (blurred differs from
sharp, lights more pixels, keeps alpha energy) and a catalog assertion
for the CPU gate; effects 450 and gpu 212 lib tests pass; fmt and
clippy -D warnings clean.
