New RAW Preprocessing Algorithm

I've implemented a whole new raw preprocessing algorithm. It efficiently removes color noise and sharpens the image, offering a massive step up in quality in the whole pipeline compared to the previous version.

This update is also exciting for Fuji X-Trans users, as the new algorithm handles the sensor pattern much better, resulting in cleaner and sharper details.

Here is a comparison of 2 very noisy images alongside a Fuji X-Trans image at the end:

Before (Old Algo, Lots of Color Noise)	After (New Algo, Only Luma Noise)

Flat-Line Clipping in Curves

I've implemented flat-line clipping logic for the curves tool. You aren't limited to just lifting or pushing down curve points anymore; you can now drag the start and end points along the X-axis to clip the blacks or whites exactly how you need to.

• Improved Lens Detection: I improved the Lensfun parser to detect lenses more reliably and added support for more manufacturers.
• Smoother Image Navigation: Rapidly switching images (like holding down arrow keys) is now much more fluid. I implemented logic to cancel pending load requests, so the app doesn't get slowed down trying to open images you've already skipped past.
• Minor Changes: Added curves cross-channel copy/paste, productivity context menu is now also shown in the editor view, wgpu improvements, RAW tonemapping on non-edited images fixed & more...
