Claude 86deb5b004 Fix #367: import copies and verifies files on several threads
Import -> Copy (and Move, and Copy as DNG) handled one file after another
on the import worker: copy, fsync, read back and hash, optionally decode
and re-encode the raw as DNG. Every other CPU-heavy step of an import was
already parallel (the probes, up to 8 threads), so with the probes cached
by the review dialog's scan the transfer phase ran on one core.

ImportJob::prepare_files now plans each file in order, as before
(duplicates by path and content, sidecars, rename sequence numbers,
folders, Kept notes) and collects the copies/moves, which then run on up
to 8 threads (std::thread::scope; sequential on wasm32). Outcomes keep
their places, so results, order, names and failure messages are those of
a one-by-one import:
- a file whose content matches a transfer still pending, or whose name
  could collide with one (same folder, same name family: IMG.jpg,
  IMG-1.jpg, img.dng), waits until that one has finished;
- cancel stops before the next file; transfers not started leave no item;
- a panic in one transfer fails that file instead of the batch;
- Copy as DNG holds a memory-gate permit (6x the file size) while it runs.
Copy verification and crash safety are unchanged (same copy_new / place).
The desktop's import worker prepares batches of 2 x workers files (8..16,
lightcraft_engine::import::batch_size) instead of 8, so a batch's slowest
file holds back fewer threads; the browser build keeps 8.

Measured (4-core shared VM, 200 procedural 3.7 MB JPEGs = 754 MB, warm
page cache, throwaway benchmark not committed):
- probe: ~80 ms CPU per file is the JPEG decode (DCT-scaled to 64 px),
  1.2 ms the content hash; the dialog's scan: 4.4 s, 3.6 cores busy.
- Copy, probes cached: copy+fsync+verify 1.59 s at 0.43 cores before,
  0.94 s at 0.81 cores after. Copy, not cached: 6.45 s -> 5.51 s.
- Add, probes cached: 2 ms prepare; nothing to parallelize.
- commit of a batch on the UI thread (journal append + fsync): ~4 ms,
  flat for libraries of 0, 5k, 20k and 50k photos (~0.7 s for 1300).
Copy as DNG could not be measured (no raw corpus here); it is the most
CPU-heavy per-file step and was sequential.

Test: copies_run_side_by_side_with_the_same_outcome (copies under the
test fault Slow run on more than one thread; names, order and in-batch
duplicates match a one-by-one copy; the outcome assertions also pass on
the old code, the thread assertion fails there).
