Fix wrong VIS codes for PD90 (96→99), PD120 (93→95), PD180 (95→97),
PD240 (113→96), and ScottieDX (55→76). This caused PD180 to be detected
as PD90 and PD120 to fail entirely.
Replace batch Goertzel pixel decoding with analytic signal (Hilbert
transform) FM demodulation. The Goertzel approach used 96-sample windows
with ~500 Hz resolution — wider than the 800 Hz pixel frequency range —
making accurate pixel decoding impossible for fast modes like Martin2
and Scottie2. The Hilbert method computes per-sample instantaneous
frequency, matching the approach used by QSSTV and other professional
SSTV decoders.

Fix infinite CPU spin in PD120 decoding caused by a 1-sample rounding
mismatch between line_samples (24407) and the sum of sub-component
samples (24408). The feed() while loop would re-enter _decode_line()
endlessly when the buffer was too short by 1 sample. Added a stall
guard that breaks the loop when no progress is made.
Fix false "leader tone detected" in the signal monitor by requiring
the detected tone to dominate the other tone by 2x, matching the
approach already used by the VIS detector.

slowrx is a GTK GUI app that doesn't support CLI usage, so the SSTV
decoder was silently failing. This replaces it with a pure Python
implementation using numpy and Pillow that supports Robot36/72,
Martin1/2, Scottie1/2, and PD120/180 modes via VIS header auto-detection.
Key implementation details:
- Generalized Goertzel (DTFT) for exact-frequency tone detection
- Vectorized batch Goertzel for real-time pixel decoding performance
- Overlapping analysis windows for short-window frequency estimation
- VIS header detection state machine with parity validation
- Per-line sync re-synchronization for drift tolerance
