Boost deblur visibility: multi-pass inference, stronger defaults, user controls

The model IS working correctly (verified: +4.54 dB PSNR on test images),
but the per-pixel changes are subtle (mean ~5/255). For CCTV and general
images the effect was barely visible.

Changes:
- Add multi-pass inference (run model N times, default=2 passes)
- Increase default Strength from 1.0 to 2.0 (amplifies model residual)
- Increase default Sharpen from 0.0 to 0.5 (unsharp mask post-processing)
- Extend Strength slider max from 2.0 to 5.0
- Extend Sharpen slider max from 1.0 to 2.0
- Add Passes slider (1-5) for user control
- Combined effect doubles visible pixel changes (5.4 -> 11.1 mean diff)
