fix: guard DC writes in JPEGDEC MCU_SKIP path (#2058)

EIGHT_BIT_GRAYSCALE decode of a 3-component progressive JPEG calls
JPEGDecodeMCU_P with MCU_SKIP for Cb and Cr after every Y MCU. The
existing safe-pMCU patch redirects the wild pointer to &sMCUs[0] but
leaves the DC store unguarded, so each chroma skip overwrites the
just-decoded Y DC with the chroma DC predictor. Output reads sMCUs[0],
gets the trailing Cr DC (~0), and renders an all-black image.

Add `if (iMCU >= 0)` guards to the two pMCU[0] writes (main DC store and
successive-approximation update). The pointer redirect stays as the AC
wild-pointer defense; the new guards stop the silent corruption at
sMCUs[0]. The two fixes are independent and both required.

fixes the progressive 8bit grayscale jpeg regression in 1.3.0

PlatformIO pre-build script: patch JPEGDEC for MCU_SKIP wild pointer crash.
PlatformIO pre-build script: apply CrossPoint's JPEGDEC patches via `git apply`.
Problem:
JPEGDecodeMCU_P computes pMCU = &sMCUs[iMCU & 0xffffff]. When iMCU is
MCU_SKIP (-8), the bitmask produces index 0xFFFFF8 (16 777 208), creating a
pointer ~33 MB past the 392-entry sMCUs array. If the progressive JPEG's
first scan includes AC coefficients (iScanEnd > 0), the AC decode loop writes
through this wild pointer and crashes with a store-access fault.
The upstream JPEGDEC pin still has the wild-pointer + DC-write bugs in
JPEGDecodeMCU_P that surface when EIGHT_BIT_GRAYSCALE decodes a 3-component
progressive JPEG (each Y MCU drags two MCU_SKIP calls behind it for Cb/Cr).
The patches in `scripts/jpegdec_patches/` carry the fix; this script applies
each one against the libdep working tree.
Upstream commit 8628297 guarded the DC coefficient write (pMCU[0]) but not the
AC coefficient writes at indices 1-63.
Each patch's idempotency is decided by git itself:
* `git apply --check --reverse` succeeds -> already applied, skip
* `git apply --check` succeeds -> apply
* neither succeeds -> abort the build
Fix:
Redirect pMCU to sMCUs[0] when MCU_SKIP is active. Writes to sMCUs[1..63]
are harmless: for JPEG_SCALE_EIGHTH only sMCUs[0] is read for output, and
the DC write at sMCUs[0] is already guarded by the existing `if (iMCU >= 0)`
check.
Applied idempotently — safe to run on every build.
Patches live in `scripts/jpegdec_patches/` as one-commit-per-fix files
(see the file headers for context). Applied in lexical order.
