fix(ocr): narrow exception handling and add unit tests for ensure_blla_model

- _model_is_loadable: narrow bare except to (RuntimeError, OSError, ValueError)
  with DEBUG-level fallback for unexpected exceptions — prevents silent masking
  of missing kraken install or AttributeError on vgsl
- _run_segtrain: replace bare except:pass with log.warning so height-check
  fallback is visible in container logs
- New test_ensure_blla_model.py: covers model-OK early return, incompatible
  model rename+replace, and missing model download paths
