feat: helper set_angle_range_around + angle_tolerance hint in auto_tune

LineShapeMatcher.set_angle_range_around(center, tol): restringe
angle_range a (center-tol, center+tol). Use case: feeder/posizionamento
meccanico noto a priori. Esempio:
    m.set_angle_range_around(0, 20)  # cerca solo in [-20, +20]

auto_tune accetta angle_tolerance_deg + angle_center_deg: emette
angle_min/angle_max ristretti se hint fornito. Cache key include
hint per non collidere con tune default.

Beneficio misurato: angle_step=5 deg, template 80x80
- range 360°: 72 varianti
- range ±15°: 6 varianti (12x meno = matching ~12x piu veloce)
