vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 8add8ac7b4 #474: decode a multi-layer EXR once per frame, and only its picture when nothing else reads it
- The channel cache decodes a file once however many callers ask for it at
  the same time (the others wait for that decode), and is bounded by the
  bytes of its planes (1 GiB, least recently used out first, a file counting
  as used when its decode finishes, the newest file always kept) instead of
  four files of any size.
- Once an effect has read a footage item's channels, its pictures are made
  of the cached planes, also for files with an unnamed RGB layer (bit for
  bit what the image crate shows, which still decodes the files the planes
  can't stand in for); footage alone decodes only its picture's channels
  (a multi-layer file's were all decoded and cached for every frame).
- Channels are decoded straight into their display-window planes, and the
  picture is converted from the planes without two interleaved copies.

Measured on a 30-frame 2560x1440 sequence of 32 channels (DWAA), one frame
at a time: footage alone 0.185 -> 0.073 s per frame and 4.4 -> 1.8 GB peak;
with an unnamed RGB layer plus Cryptomatte 0.244 -> 0.159 s; multi-part
plus EXtractoR 0.194 -> 0.127 s.
