Chuck b15bbb6f4b docs(requirements): document optional dependencies (scipy, psutil, Flask-Limiter)
A doc-vs-code crosscheck of every Python import in src/ and
web_interface/ against requirements.txt found 3 packages that the
code uses but requirements.txt doesn't list. Verified with grep that
all 3 are wrapped in try/except blocks with documented fallback
paths, so they're optional features rather than missing required
deps:

- scipy           src/common/scroll_helper.py:26
                  → from scipy.ndimage import shift; HAS_SCIPY flag.
                  Used for sub-pixel interpolation in scrolling.
                  Falls back to a simpler shift algorithm without it.

- psutil          src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:15
                  → import psutil; PSUTIL_AVAILABLE flag. Used for
                  per-plugin CPU/memory monitoring. Silently no-ops
                  without it.

- flask-limiter   web_interface/app.py:42-43
                  → from flask_limiter import Limiter; wrapped at the
                  caller. Used for accidental-abuse rate limiting on
                  the web interface (not security). Web interface
                  starts without rate limiting when missing.

These were latent in two ways:
1. A user reading requirements.txt thinks they have the full feature
   set after `pip install -r requirements.txt`, but they don't get
   smoother scrolling, plugin resource monitoring, or rate limiting.
2. A contributor who deletes one of the packages from their dev env
   wouldn't know which feature they just lost — the fallbacks are
   silent.

Added an "Optional dependencies" section at the bottom of
requirements.txt with the version constraint, the file:line where
each is used, the feature it enables, and the install command. The
comment-only format means `pip install -r requirements.txt` still
gives the minimal-feature install (preserving current behavior),
while users who want the full feature set can copy the explicit
pip install commands.

Other findings from the same scan that came back as false positives
or known issues:
- web_interface_v2: dead pattern flagged in earlier iteration
  (still no real implementation; affects 11+ plugins via the same
  try/except dead-fallback pattern)
- urllib3: comes with `requests` transitively
- All 'src.', 'web_interface.', 'rgbmatrix', 'RGBMatrixEmulator'
  imports: internal modules
- base_plugin / plugin_manager / store_manager / mocks /
  visual_display_manager: relative imports to local modules
- freetype: false positive (freetype-py is in requirements.txt
  under the package name)
