[fix](trx-frontend-http): optimize spectrum and waterfall rendering performance

Six hot-path optimizations that reduce per-frame CPU cost:

1. Waterfall color LUT: Pre-compute a 256-entry RGBA lookup table
   (bins are i8 = 256 possible values) instead of calling
   waterfallColorRgba() per-pixel with HSL→RGB math + Math.pow().
   Eliminates ~2000+ HSL conversions per frame across both waterfalls.

2. Noise floor O(N)→O(N log N): Replace .slice().sort() with an
   in-place quickselect algorithm for 15th-percentile estimation.
   For 1024 bins this is ~10× faster.

3. Reuse spectrum bin buffers: SSE handler and buildSpectrumRenderData
   now reuse pre-allocated arrays instead of creating new Array(N)
   and .map() allocations every frame. Reduces GC pressure.

4. Cache canvas dimensions: drawSpectrum and drawSpectrumWaterfall
   read cached CSS dimensions instead of querying clientWidth/
   clientHeight every frame (which forces layout recalculation).
   Dimensions refreshed on resize and layout changes.

5. Cache DOM references: getElementById calls for zoom indicator and
   minimap elements moved to module-level constants instead of
   querying the DOM on every drawSpectrum call.

6. Efficient array trimming: Peak hold pruning uses in-place splice
   from front instead of .filter() (which allocates a new array).
   Waterfall row trimming uses splice instead of repeated .shift().
