feat: quality + scan OCR escalation trigger (junk-text-layer scans)

The hot-path classifier escalated to OCR purely on character count, so a
scanned/handwritten PDF with a low-quality embedded text layer (>16 chars/page
but garbled) routed `fast` and indexed the junk -- e.g. Student 147.pdf's
"Little Acoms Primary"/"0110912020", which pollutes the vector and demotes the
doc in search (Deck #207).

- classifier: recalibrate `_text_quality` with a long-token-fraction term that
  detects word-merging (dropped inter-word spaces) -- the dominant junk-layer
  failure the old whitespace/overlong(>20) terms missed. Measured: the Student
  147 scan ~0.42 (60% pages junk) vs >=0.94 for clean digital docs.
- classify_from_text now routes on quality + scan: a page is OCR-worthy if
  near-empty OR low text-quality OR (when OCR + scan detection are enabled) it's
  mostly a raster image. New `image_coverage_per_page` re-opens the PDF for the
  scan signal, so that cost is paid only by OCR-opted-in tenants. Thresholds are
  passed in from per-tenant settings (keyword-only).
- config: 4 per-tenant settings -- DOCUMENT_OCR_MIN_TEXT_QUALITY (0.5),
  DOCUMENT_OCR_PAGE_FRACTION (0.5), DOCUMENT_OCR_MIN_PAGE_CHARS (16),
  DOCUMENT_OCR_DETECT_SCANNED (true) -- with range validators.
- metrics: new astrolabe_document_ocr_page_fraction histogram (the value the
  page-fraction threshold acts on) alongside document_text_quality, so operators
  can tune the OCR escalation per tenant (quality vs cost).

Escalation gate, OCR backends, and off-by-default behavior unchanged (#858).
