Added libvips42 system package and pyvips Python package.

torchvision installed from PyPI expects CUDA torch operator
registrations. Installing from the CPU whl index ensures torchvision
matches the CPU-only torch build. Fixes 'torchvision::nms does not
exist' RuntimeError on startup.

transformers 5.x breaks surya 0.17.1 — SuryaDecoderConfig is missing
pad_token_id. Pin to transformers>=4.56.1,<5.0.0.
Also add torch==2.7.1 to requirements.txt to prevent pip from upgrading
it past the CPU-only build installed in the Dockerfile layer.

New confidence.py module with two functions:
- apply_confidence_markers(): replaces words below threshold with
[unleserlich], collapses adjacent markers into one
- words_from_characters(): reconstructs word-level confidence from
Kraken's character-level data
Surya 0.17 provides native word-level confidence via line.words.
Kraken 7.0 provides per-character confidences via record.confidences.
Both engines now pass word+confidence data through main.py, which
applies the marker post-processing before returning the API response.
Threshold configurable via OCR_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD env var (default 0.3).
Frontend already renders [unleserlich] markers via transcriptionMarkers.ts.

kraken 5.2.9 required torch~=2.1.0, incompatible with surya-ocr's
torch>=2.3.0. kraken 6.0.3 requires torch>=2.4.0,<=2.9 which
overlaps with surya and our pinned torch==2.5.1.

surya-ocr 0.6.3 requires pillow<11.0.0,>=10.2.0. The previous
pin at 11.1.0 caused a dependency resolution failure during
Docker build.

Python microservice (ocr-service/):
- FastAPI app with /ocr and /health endpoints
- Surya engine: transformer-based OCR for typewritten/modern handwriting
- Kraken engine: historical HTR for Kurrent/Suetterlin with
pure-Python polygon-to-quad approximation (gift wrapping + rotating calipers)
- Eager model loading at startup via lifespan context manager
- PDF download via httpx, page rendering via pypdfium2 at 300 DPI
Java RestClientOcrClient:
- Implements OcrClient + OcrHealthClient interfaces
- Calls Python service via Spring RestClient
- Health check with graceful fallback
Docker Compose:
- New ocr-service container (mem_limit 6g, no host ports)
- Health check with start_period 60s for model loading
- ocr_models volume for Kraken model files
- Backend depends on ocr-service health
