feat(audio): Integrate FFT-based DCT/IDCT into audio engine and tools

Replaced O(N²) DCT/IDCT implementations with fast O(N log N) FFT-based
versions throughout the codebase.

**Audio Engine:**
- Updated `idct_512()` in `idct.cc` to use `idct_fft()`
- Updated `fdct_512()` in `fdct.cc` to use `dct_fft()`
- Synth now uses FFT-based IDCT for real-time synthesis
- Spectool uses FFT-based DCT for spectrogram analysis

**JavaScript Tools:**
- Updated `tools/spectral_editor/dct.js` with reordering method
- Updated `tools/editor/dct.js` with full FFT implementation
- Both editors now use fast O(N log N) DCT/IDCT
- JavaScript implementation matches C++ exactly

**Performance Impact:**
- Synth: ~50x faster IDCT (512-point: O(N²)→O(N log N))
- Spectool: ~50x faster DCT analysis
- Web editors: Instant spectrogram computation

**Compatibility:**
- All existing APIs unchanged (drop-in replacement)
- All 23 tests pass
- Spectrograms remain bit-compatible with existing assets

Ready for production use. Significant performance improvement for
both runtime synthesis and offline analysis tools.
