cnn_test: --weights now overrides layer config from .bin file

When using --weights option:
- Layer count and kernel sizes loaded from binary header
- Warnings shown if --layers or --cnn-version specified
- Help text clarifies precedence order
- Binary weights always take precedence over CLI args

Updated documentation:
- doc/CNN_TEST_TOOL.md: Usage examples with --weights
- doc/HOWTO.md: Runtime weight loading example
