feat: Add S16/U16 format support to VXU functions (Group 2 progress)

- Add GrayU16 and GrayS16 to ImageFormat enum
- Add U8→S16 conversion function convert_and_copy
- Fix S16 format detection (0x36313053 for 'S016')
- Add detailed debug output to vxu_sobel3x3_impl
- Format conversion now working (test reaches output validation)

Progress on Group 2 (Gradient Operations):
- ✅ Format mismatch FIXED
- ✅ Format conversion working
- ⚠️ Output values need algorithm tuning (separate issue)

The infrastructure for VXU immediate mode is now solid.
