Paul Nothaft c75839d3ea fix(gallery): keep canvas rendering in the lightbox, render tiles as <img>
Every tile, the hero and the folder covers switched to a <canvas> when
the per-event toggle was on or the protection level was `maximum`. A
canvas pins a backing store of naturalWidth × naturalHeight × 4 bytes
that the browser is not allowed to evict, and iOS Safari has a hard
budget for canvas memory that fails silently when exceeded — blank
tiles, no error, on exactly the browser the large-gallery report came
from. A gallery is several hundred tiles and one lightbox image.

What canvas buys on a thumbnail is a slightly harder right-click. What
actually protects the images is server-side: the served file is
watermarked and the download route refuses when downloads are off. The
photographer who reported the large-gallery case, shipping to real
clients, said the same and turned the global toggle off once it was
about to reach their next gallery.

So: tiles, hero and folder covers always render <img>. The lightbox
keeps both the per-event toggle and the `maximum` implication — one
image, where the calculus is different. The toggle is now wired to the
lightbox for the first time; before this it reached only the tiles, so
the label that said "canvas rendering" turned every grid into canvases
and left the lightbox alone. Labels in all four locales now say where it
applies.

`protectionLevel` was destructured in seven tile components only to feed
that OR; those props and their pass-throughs go with it. The shared
layout props keep it, since the story layout still hands it to its
lightbox.

A source-level test pins that only PhotoLightbox passes
useCanvasRendering to AuthenticatedImage or turns it on for `maximum`.
