pdf2image requires poppler-utils which is not installed in the OCR
container. PyMuPDF is already in requirements.txt and can render PDF
pages to PNG at 300 DPI natively without extra system dependencies.

Replace direct pytesseract calls with OcrEngine interface in vin_extractor.py,
receipt_extractor.py, and ocr_service.py. PSM mode fallbacks replaced with
engine-agnostic single-line/single-word configs. Dead _process_ocr_data removed.
