Improve the image optimization pipeline with better compression and
smarter variant generation:
- Change to_lossless_webp → to_optimized_webp (lossy, quality 90)
- Auto-resize uploads larger than 2000px to save storage
- Skip pre-generating JPEG variants (~50% disk savings)
- Add on-demand JPEG generation for legacy browsers (<5% of users)
- Add /images/:id/variant/:width route for dynamic serving
- Add VariantCache to supervision tree for startup validation
- Add image_cache to static paths for disk-based serving
The pipeline now stores smaller WebP sources and generates AVIF/WebP
variants upfront, with JPEG generated only when legacy browsers request it.

- Add Optimizer module with lossless WebP conversion
- Generate responsive variants at [400, 800, 1200] widths
- Only create sizes <= source dimensions (no upscaling)
- Support AVIF, WebP, and JPEG output formats
- Add disk cache at priv/static/image_cache/
- Add comprehensive test suite (12 tests)
- Add image fixtures helper for testing
