merge: R OpenCL UMat

Flag opzionale use_gpu=False/True su LineShapeMatcher e helper:
- opencl_available() per probe runtime
- set_gpu_enabled(bool) per attivare/disattivare globalmente

Quando attivo + cv2.ocl.haveOpenCL() True: Sobel + dilate +
warpAffine usano UMat con dispatch automatico kernel GPU
(Intel UHD, AMD, NVIDIA via OpenCL ICD). Speedup tipico 1.5-3x
sui filtri OpenCV (sec 1080p), gain finale ~10-15% sul total
find() perche' kernel JIT score-bitmap rimane CPU (Numba).

Path silently fallback CPU se OpenCL non disponibile (es. build
opencv-python senza ICD). Non rompe niente in ambienti non-GPU.

Per veri 20-50x speedup servirebbe kernel CUDA dedicato del
score-bitmap (out of scope, CPU + Numba e gia' molto buono).
