feat: use_soft_score - Halcon Metric soft-margin gradient similarity

_compute_soft_score: cos(theta_template - theta_scena) continuo
(non quantizzato a bin) pesato per magnitude. Polarity-aware se
use_polarity=True (mod 2pi) else |cos| (mod pi).

Quando use_soft_score=True (default off, backward compat), lo score
finale e' fuso con quello shape: piu discriminante per match a
piccola rotazione (penalita' graduale invece di binaria on/off).

Equivalente a Halcon Metric='use_polarity' / 'ignore_global_polarity'
in find_shape_model.
