    syncduke/syncdoom: fill the terminal window without the last-row sixel white bar

    The image tiers now scale up to fill the probed window (sixel width cap
    raised 640 -> 1024) instead of a small centered image. To do that safely, reserve one text-cell row at the bottom of the sixel fit: a terminal that ignores DECSDM ?80l (e.g. Windows Terminal) scrolls a sixel that reaches its last text row, scrolling blank/white lines in below it -- the image renders short with a white bar beneath. Keeping the sixel off the last row avoids the scroll. JXL/PPM (positioned by APC pixel offset, not a text cell) are unaffected and keep the full scale_max.

    Both doors fit a 1.6:1 frame through the same path, so the change is mirrored in syncduke_io.c and syncdoom.c.

    syncduke/syncdoom: full-resolution sixel F4 opt-in for pan-ignoring terminals

    Default non-SyncTERM sixel encodes at half vertical resolution and relies on the
    terminal's "2;1 raster aspect to double it. Some terminals (e.g. WezTerm) ignore
    the aspect ratio and render the image at half height. Add a "sixel-full" stop to
    the F4 video-tier cycle (offered only on non-SyncTERM) that encodes at full vertical resolution (vsc=1, no terminal scaling) -- correct on any sixel terminal
    at ~2x the wire bytes. Default stays the cheap half-res; the choice is per-user sticky (SyncDOOM: <home>/syncdoom.ini [video] sixel_fullres; SyncDuke: a syncduke.fullres flag-file in the per-user dir). SyncTERM is unaffected (JXL tier;
    the vsc=1 path is gated off there).

    Also: shorten the F4 cycle banner to "Video: <tier>" (drop the app name and the "(F4 to cycle)" tip -- it only shows on an F4 press) and fix its centering to use
    the real cell width instead of out_w/8 (a wide font over-counted columns and ran
    the label off-screen); show "sixel-full" in the Ctrl-S stats strip in both doors.

    syncdoom/syncduke: name the frame image-cache slot per-door

    The SyncTERM APC cached-image Store used a shared "d.jxl"/"d.ppm" filename, so both doors reused the same client-side cache slot and it was opaque in SyncTERM's
    on-disk cache. Name it per-door instead: syncduke_frame.jxl and syncdoom_frame.{ppm,jxl} -- self-descriptive and no longer colliding across doors. Still a single reused per-tier slot (re-Stored every frame), so no cache growth.

    syncduke/syncdoom: sixel image centering + full-res sixel option

    Two SyncTERM sixel improvements, tested live:

    Centering (SyncDuke): the sixel image hugged the left edge on SyncTERM while SyncDOOM centered. Cause -- SyncTERM answers the graphics-canvas probe
    (?2;1S) but not the cell-size probe (ESC[16t), so syncduke_term_cell_w()
    stays 0 and termgfx_geom_center() can't turn the centered pixel offset into a text column, falling back to column 1. Give the centering the same 8x16 cell-size fallback the bottom-row reserve already uses (SyncDOOM always has), so the image centers; also drop the stale is-SyncTERM special case in the mouse-steer center (SyncTERM honors the sixel cursor like other terminals).

    Full-res sixel (both doors): the default sixel encodes at half the display
    size and lets SyncTERM nearest-neighbor-double it -- lean on the wire but
    soft. Add a "sixel-full" tier that encodes 1:1 at the display size on
    SyncTERM too (it was gated to non-SyncTERM), for a sharper image at ~4x the bytes. In SyncDOOM the JXL-start F4 cycle now offers both the half- and full-res sixel stops, so "sixel-full" is actually reachable.
