Implement SAM 3 + DINOv3 prompting (Gemini's recommended approach)

## Major Architecture Change

Following Gemini's analysis and perfect roof plane segmentation demo, implemented SAM 3 (Segment Anything Model 3) with DINOv3 feature-based prompting.

## Why This Change?

**Gemini demonstrated PERFECT segmentation** from a satellite image:
- Clean straight lines
- 4 roof planes correctly detected
- No shadow issues
- No splotchy boundaries

Our previous approaches (Felzenszwalb, Watershed, DSM) couldn't match this quality.

## Implementation (Following Gemini's Spec)

### 1. Model Loading
- Added SAM 3 (`facebook/sam3`) with HF token authentication
- Optional loading (falls back if unavailable)

### 2. Feature Prompt Workflow (`segment_roof_planes_sam3`)
**Step A**: Extract DINOv3 patch embeddings
**Step B**: Find peak intensity regions (centroids of roof planes)
**Step C**: Pass these as point prompts to SAM 3
**Step D**: SAM 3 outputs clean, geometrically accurate masks

### 3. UI Integration
- Added "SAM3" as first segmentation choice (now default)
- Info text: "Gemini-spec (DINOv3 prompts → clean edges) RECOMMENDED"
- Fallback to other methods if SAM 3 unavailable

## Technical Details

**DINOv3 Prompting**:
- Upsample features to image resolution
- Compute feature magnitude
- Find local maxima within building mask
- Top 10 peaks → point prompts for SAM

**SAM 3 Processing**:
- Uses `Sam3Processor` for multi-modal inputs
- `Sam3Model` generates masks from prompts
- Post-processing to segmentation map

## Expected Results

Like Gemini's demo:
- Clean straight edges (suitable for solar panel placement)
- Accurate roof plane detection
- No shadow-split issues (SAM 3 handles appearance variation)
- Perfect for solar layout tool requirements

## Dependencies
- Added torch/torchvision to requirements (already used by DINOv3)
- SAM 3 available via transformers >= 4.56.0
