Desktop app with live scanning and OCR

tools/app.py (myscan/app.py, Qt/PySide6) shows the camera and the page as it
is stitched, Start/Stop or the scan button (F5), then reads the finished page
with RapidOCR (myscan/ocr.py; bundled multilingual models, offline). Lines are
outlined on the page by confidence and linked to an editable text pane that
can be copied or saved. Existing images can be opened or dropped, so the app
is useful without the mouse.

The scan loop moves from tools/scan.py to myscan/scanner.py, shared by both.

mouse over the page, press it again to stop. Frames are registered while you scan;
after the stop press the page is assembled from all of them at once (see
myscan/stitching/pagegraph.py) and saved as <outdir>/scan-YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS.png. The mouse goes
back to mouse mode between scans (and on Ctrl-C).
