* feat(keys_highway_3d): add note-colour palettes and selectable camera angles

Give the 3D keys highway player-facing view options and a tuned default
look, so the piano highway is readable out of the box and customisable
from the settings panel without touching code.

Note colours (settings -> Note colours, `keys3d_bg_palette`):
- Octaves (new default): each octave its own hue climbing the rainbow,
  darker sharps, so pitch height reads at a glance on any note range.
- Rainbow: the original per-pitch table (colours unchanged).
- Vivid / Pastel: per-pitch variants.
- Emerald / Ice: single-hue two-tone (uniform naturals, darker sharps).
The pick drives the notes, key glow, lane guides and hit flames, live.

Camera (settings -> Camera angle, `keys3d_bg_camera`):
- Classic (the original low rig) / Elevated / Overhead (new default).
- Height, distance and tilt fine-tune sliders nudge the base vantage the
  auto-pan/zoom follow-motion orbits; presets apply live.

The new defaults are opinionated for plug-and-play (octaves palette,
overhead camera, tilt -0.6); anyone who prefers the original look can
pick Rainbow + Classic. Settings changes are re-read on init() so they
apply on return from the settings screen, not only after a relaunch.

Scoring, hit-timing and MIDI handling are untouched -- these are purely
visual. Numeric FX keys clamp to declared ranges (FX_RANGES); the pure
colour/camera helpers are covered by unit tests (node --test).

* fix(keys_highway_3d): make Classic camera reproduce the original rig + drop per-frame camera alloc

Review follow-ups on the palettes/camera feature:

- "Classic" preset now reproduces the historical rig exactly. The tuned
  plug-and-play downward aim (camTilt -0.6 x CAM_TILT_UNITS = -33) is baked
  into CAM_PRESETS.overhead.lookY, and camTilt now defaults to 0 (neutral).
  The default overhead look is byte-identical (effective lookY still -33),
  but "pick Classic for the original look" is now actually true instead of
  leaving a -33 down-tilt applied. settings.html tilt slider defaults to 0.

- _rig() writes into a hoisted reusable object instead of allocating a fresh
  {y,z,lookY,lookZ} literal every frame, honoring the module's documented
  "no per-frame allocations in draw()" discipline. Callers read it
  synchronously and never retain it, so one shared instance is safe.

Tests updated for the neutral camTilt default; adds an invariant test that
the default overhead framing is unchanged and Classic + neutral tilt == the
historical LOOK_Y. Full JS suite green (1069 pass).
