test: let browsers own their decoders and workers own their contexts

The last ten BrowserStack failures were tests holding browsers to answers
that were never theirs to give.

read-image-bitmap asserted the top-left JPEG pixel sums to exactly 3.22.
Safari's decoder says 3.23. Firefox's own 2D decode says 3.22 -- its cpu mode
passed -- but its WebGL ImageBitmap upload applies color management the 2D
canvas does not, and lands on 3.07. The test now compares against the same
browser's own decode of the same bitmap, inside a band wide enough for an
upload-path shift and far too narrow for what the test actually guards
against: a zero read, an all-white read, or garbage.

The offscreen-canvas workers built GPU with the requested mode and let an
unsupported one throw uncaught, which surfaced as a global failure attached
to no test. Firefox on Windows has no WebGL2 in a Worker even though the page
has it, so the page-side isOffscreenCanvasSupported guard could not know. The
worker now reports an unsupported mode as data, and the page passes it as
that browser's honest answer -- any other worker error still fails.

Verified on the two targets that were failing: Firefox and Safari both pass
these modules on BrowserStack now, and the M1 run stays green.
