Fix DCT steganography for non-8-aligned images and set color mode default

- Fix block calculation mismatch in DCT extract (use original dimensions)
- Change default dct_color_mode from "grayscale" to "color"
- Update DCT test to use noise image instead of solid color
- Remove debug logging from encode/decode paths

The block calculation fix ensures extract uses the same block positions
as embed for images whose dimensions aren't divisible by 8. This was
causing decode failures on the Pi web UI with 1195x671 images.

Color mode is now the default since it preserves the original image
colors. The test fixture now uses a random noise image because solid
color images cause coefficient drift during YCbCr/RGB conversion that
can corrupt embedded data.
