Use float32 instead of float64 for DCT operations

Browse Source 
Reduces peak memory usage by ~50%:
- ENCODE: 211 MB -> 107 MB
- DECODE: 104 MB -> 52 MB

float32 provides sufficient precision for 8-bit images
(DCT roundtrip error ~1.8e-7, well under 0.5 threshold).

Significant improvement for Pi deployments with limited RAM.
