io: port TIFF alpha and spot channels from #7415

Browse Source 
Flat and layered TIFFs write and read alpha channels, spot channels and a
Quick Mask as extra samples, with Photoshop's channel resources. This is
the io part of #7415 as it stands, on current main; the next commit keeps
PSD output as it is on main.

## Layered TIFF
A TIFF saved by Photoshop with its layers carries them in two private tags: 37724 (`ImageSourceData`, the same layer section a PSD has, preceded by the string `Adobe Photoshop Document Data Block`) and 34377 (the PSD image resources). `photocraft-codecs` passes both through as opaque bytes on `Metadata`; `photocraft-io` rebuilds a PSD model from them plus the TIFF's pixels and hands it to the PSD importer, so groups, masks, layer styles, type, shapes, smart objects and adjustment layers open from a TIFF exactly as from a PSD, and are written back the same way. In Intel-order (`II`) files Photoshop stores the whole block structure byte-swapped (reversed keys such as `MIB8` and `ryaL`, little-endian integers and doubles) while pixel samples stay big-endian; `photocraft-psd`'s `tiff` module converts between the two orders field by field, and drops, with a warning, any block whose layout it does not know rather than pass byte-swapped data to other readers. Limits: a TIFF holds one transparency sample, so extra alpha channels are not written; Lab documents are saved flat. Save As asks "Including layers will increase file size" (with "Discard Layers and Save a Copy") while *Ask Before Saving Layered TIFF Files* is on in Preferences › File Handling. Scripted and agent saves write a flat TIFF unless they ask for layers: `--tiff-layers` for `photocraft-cli convert`, `run` and `batch`, and `"tiffLayers": true` in the save, batch and export commands and MCP `doc_save`.

Limits: up to sixteen extra samples (spot colours and alpha channels, plus a Quick Mask) are written in the IFD and round-trip, with Photoshop image resources for the channel name, ink colour and solidity; Lab documents are saved flat, with their extra samples.
