CNN v2 training: Add --grayscale-loss option for luminance-based loss computation

Add option to compute loss on grayscale (Y = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B) instead of full RGBA channels. Useful for training models that prioritize luminance accuracy over color accuracy.

Changes:
- training/train_cnn_v2.py: Add --grayscale-loss flag and grayscale conversion in loss computation
- scripts/train_cnn_v2_full.sh: Add --grayscale-loss parameter support
- doc/CNN_V2.md: Document grayscale loss in training configuration and checkpoint format
- doc/HOWTO.md: Add usage examples for --grayscale-loss flag
