perf: rewrite composite_at as integer source-over kernel

+//! Source-over compositing of 8-bit straight-alpha RGBA rasters.
+//!
+//! Every layer in the raster pipeline ultimately funnels into the same
+//! pixel-blend kernel: render a child to its own `RasterImage`, then
+//! source-over composite it onto the parent buffer at some pixel
+//! offset. The fast path of an exporter is dominated by this loop —
+//! the inner kernel runs (`overlap_w * overlap_h`) times per composited
+//! child, and a 1080p frame can easily push that into the tens of
+//! millions of pixels per frame. Keeping the implementation in one
+//! place makes it the single thing to tune.
+//!
+//! The kernel itself is straight-alpha source-over carried out entirely
+//! in `u32` fixed-point — no `f32` conversion, no `round`/`clamp`. The
+//! two scalar `out_c` divisions are by the same divisor (`out_a_x255`)
+//! and only run on partially-transparent pixels; fully-transparent
+//! source pixels skip the write entirely and fully-opaque ones go
+//! through a 4-byte copy.
