Add bf16 precision option for ViTMatte (--precision, default fp32)
bf16 halves the matting model's activation memory -- its full-resolution attention is the pipeline's memory peak -- with visually identical alpha (measured: 0 px alpha deviation > 0.25 on samples; cross-check veto behaviour unchanged, region IoU 0.984). Guarded by a hardware check so it never lands on a slow emulation path: CUDA requires torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported(); CPU requires the same oneDNN native-bf16 gate PyTorch uses for matmul routing (AVX512-BF16/ AMX). Without support it warns and falls back to fp32 -- on a Zen2 EPYC the fallback kernels measured 17-370x slower than fp32, so silent bf16 there would be a performance landmine. Segmentation stays fp32: torchvision deform_conv2d (used by BiRefNet) has no bf16 CPU kernel, and the segmenter is not the memory peak. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
