Add non-flat background mode (--no-chroma / chroma.enabled: false)

No colour key at all: segmentation alone drives the trimap (mode forced
to 'seg', whose chroma terms degrade to no-ops on a zero background-
confidence map), ViTMatte still refines the unknown band at full
resolution, and pymatting still estimates edge foreground colour. Every
colour-keyed stage is bypassed: background auto-detect, the directional
hue split, chroma alpha suppression, despill, the cross-check veto (its
suspect zone is background-hued by definition; with reuse_as_seg the
second opinion still serves as the segmenter), and the unmix fallback.

Guards: requires segmentation.enabled and matting_method 'vitmatte'
(clear errors otherwise); despill/foreground handle model=None.

Validation: flat-background default path is bit-identical pre/post
(alpha and RGB |D|max = 0 on TestImage3). On a known-alpha subject
composited over a gradient+blotch background, recovered alpha scores
MAE 0.0018 / IoU@0.5 0.993 (0.995 with --cross-check-as-seg); the same
input correctly fails auto-detection in default mode.
