fix(ocr): Improve DVB subtitle OCR quality (fixes #243)

This commit addresses Issue #243 where DVB subtitles from Spanish
broadcasts were producing corrupt/garbled OCR output like
"alajentiegaranual dep jemios" instead of "a la entrega anual de premios".

Root cause analysis:
1. Image preprocessing was degrading quality - pixContrastNorm was
   causing issues for some DVB sources
2. Default quantization mode (ocr_quantmode=1) was too aggressive,
   reducing images to just 3 colors which lost important detail

Changes:
- Remove pixContrastNorm calls from ocr.c (both main OCR and color
  detection passes) - these were causing more harm than good
- Change default ocr_quantmode from 1 to 0 (no quantization) in both
  C code (ccx_common_option.c) and Rust code (options.rs)
- Add NULL checks in dvbsub_close_decoder() and telxcc_close() for
  safety
- Add proper cleanup of codec_private_data pointers in lib_ccx.c and
  ts_info.c to prevent double-free crashes

Testing performed:
- Test 21 (English DVB): Completes in ~1 second with good OCR quality
- Test 239 (DVB timing): All 8 subtitles have correct timing
- Spanish DVB (Issue #243): Now produces readable text like
  "¡Bienvenidos a la entrega anual de premios" instead of garbage

Users can still use --quant 1 to restore the old quantization behavior
if needed.
