Jason Baldwin 47e9181f69 LR-PREF-PERFORMANCE: GPU fallback reason per render; the export fallback test no longer reads process-wide state (#675)
`export_falls_back_to_the_cpu_when_gpu_work_is_lost` asserted on
`lightcraft_gpu::last_fallback()`, one value for the whole process that
every other engine test's GPU render overwrites between the export and
the assertion (out of device memory under parallel load, once "a GPU
render panicked"). It also switched the GPU off for the whole process
through the injected fault and cleared everyone's state with
`reset_failures()`.

A render now reports its own fallback: `lightcraft_gpu::try_render`
returns `Result<Rendered, Fallback>` (`NotTried` when the GPU was not
used, `Failed(reason)` when it was tried and the CPU must render), and
`render` is a thin `.ok()` over it. `media::develop_reporting` passes
the reason on as `RenderResult::gpu_fallback`, an export carries it as
`Exported::gpu_fallback`, and each file in an `app.export` batch result
has `gpuFallback` when its render fell back. `last_fallback()` stays as
the process-wide diagnostic for `ui.inspect` → `perf.gpuFallback`.

A simulated failure (`inject_fault`) is thread-local, and so are its
consequences now: a fatal injected fault stops GPU use on the injecting
thread only (`available()` false, `unavailable_reason()` set there);
`reset_failures()` clears that and nothing else, so neither reaches the
other tests in the process. Real failures still stop the whole process.

The engine test asserts on its own export's reason and checks that
another thread still has the GPU; `crates/gpu/tests/fallback.rs` uses
`try_render` and checks the same; a new batch test checks `gpuFallback`
lands on the file whose render fell back. Docs: gpu-pipeline.md,
control-protocol.md (app.export result), parity.md.
