Third pixel-domain post-filter — a per-plane linear cross-component (luma-into-chroma)
combine:
out = w_uv·(x - mean) + w_y·y + mean
`w_uv` is the chroma self-gain about its plane mean, `w_y` the luma cross-gain, `mean`
the chroma plane mean. The luma plane is left unchanged. (The reference's multi-tap
per-plane linear model reduces, for the reconstructed image, to this 1-tap form —
verified against the fixture.)
Validated against the reference fixture, both chroma planes: max|Δ| = 1.5e-5
(f32-vs-f64). Plus unit tests for the cross-component combine and the w_uv=0 collapse.
