audit: sweep Image Processing, split into use cases, drop pymatting

Browse Source 
Restructure: the flat section splits into Barcodes and QR Codes (qrcode
30.1M/mo, python-barcode 3.4M/mo, both obvious choices — generating
codes is a distinct job from manipulating images), General (pillow
552M/mo, scikit-image 28.5M/mo obvious choices; wand 1.4M/mo, pyvips
808.2K/mo challengers), and Image Serving (thumbor sole obvious choice —
a deployed service, so its 22K/mo pip count under-measures use).

Rename to canonical PyPI name: python-qrcode → qrcode.

Removed:
- pymatting — 3.3M downloads/month, but the traffic is transitive:
  rembg declares pymatting as a hard dependency (verified in rembg's
  PyPI metadata). A single-task alpha-matting library, 1.9K stars,
  quiet since 2026-04; not an obvious choice for image processing.
