hnoerenbergandClaude fa7e5b9cb4 LR-EDIT-COLOR-TEMP: a one-field white balance partial lands where a mode answers its own white (#2910)
Reviewing #2952 turned up two more shapes of the same bug, both on the path this branch is about.

`effective_wb` ignores the temp / tint stored on an `As Shot` white balance — it answers the file's
as-shot white — and on a raw edited in Kelvin it also ignores a named preset mode's stored numbers,
through `WbMode::preset`. So a one-field partial that names its scale, `wb {temp: 5800, scale:
"kelvin"}`, merged into such a photo, was stored and then read by nothing: the panel shows 5800 K
while the render stays at as shot, and the stored tint no longer matches what renders. An unmarked
partial already materialized a Custom value through the relative-scale conversion; the named-scale
ones never did. The photo's preparation now writes out the white the photo really renders as Custom
values before the partial lands, for `As Shot` and for preset modes on a Kelvin source. `Auto` keeps
its mode — its gray is resolved and stored when the mode is set, not at render time — and a partial
that names a `mode` itself stays authoritative. Sources without the Kelvin scale (a raw whose camera
has no matrices, a rendered file) had the same swallow, and the number reaches their render now.

The issue asks for one photo-aware merge in every caller that writes settings onto a photo, and names
preset apply. `preset.apply` ran `Preset::apply` → `apply_partial` → `DevelopSettings::merged` and
never saw the photo's scale, so a preset authored by hand naming one white balance number still had
the original bug; measured on a photo at 5000 K / +12, it landed the photo on the relative scale and
moved the tint it never mentioned. The preparation and the normalize-back now wrap `Preset::apply`
per photo, with the amount blending and the mask merging untouched, which also puts an amount below
100 % on a single scale. Presets the app writes (`preset.create` → `extract_groups`) and the crs /
XMP importers name mode, temp, tint and scale together and so land in the branch that behaves
exactly as before.

Tests: the `As Shot` and preset-mode cases in the #2910 merge test, and the new
`preset.apply` test, fail before this commit (the first stores the number in a mode that renders the
photo's old white; the second demotes the photo to `Legacy`); the same test then pins that
`preset.apply` and `develop.merge` agree on a one-field white balance, which is the point of having
one merge.

Docs: the rule for an agent is in `docs/control-protocol.md` and `docs/mcp.md`, recorded on the
`LR-EDIT-COLOR-TEMP` row of `docs/parity-checklist.md`, and in `docs/whats-new.md`.
