feat: add VIN photo OCR pipeline (refs #67)

Implement VIN-specific OCR extraction with optimized preprocessing:

- Add POST /extract/vin endpoint for VIN extraction
- VIN preprocessor: CLAHE, deskew, denoise, adaptive threshold
- VIN validator: check digit validation, OCR error correction (I->1, O->0)
- VIN extractor: PSM modes 6/7/8, character whitelist, alternatives
- Response includes confidence, bounding box, and alternatives
- Unit tests for validator and preprocessor
- Integration tests for VIN extraction endpoint
