Replace annular cloud veil with full-frame east sky backdrop

The annular-ring veil approach sampled too small a region (38 px moon
in 3840×2160 gives a tiny annulus) and was invisible in practice.
More fundamentally, using the whole east sky is what "relayed to where
it was taken" actually means.

New approach — _make_east_sky_backdrop():
  Scale the full east camera frame to output size, apply GaussianBlur
  r = output_width // 6 (≈ 320 px at 1920 wide).  The blur erases RTSP
  artefacts, OSD overlays, and the wide-angle look while preserving real
  sky colour, cloud / haze gradients, and the dark ground silhouette.
  The NASA moon disk is pasted sharp on top.  The result reads as east
  photographed the moon through a telephoto with its actual sky that night.

  Clear dark sky → nearly black backdrop (same feel as before).
  Thin cloud cover → soft grey-blue haze behind the sharp moon.
  Heavy overcast → the moon detection would not qualify, so this case
    never reaches rendering.

Config rename: MOON_CLOUD_OVERLAY_* → MOON_EAST_SKY_ENABLED / _BLUR.
moon_phase_monthly.py: CLOUD_OVERLAY_* → EAST_SKY_*.
render_phase_closeup(): cloud_overlay_* params → east_sky_*.

test_moon_composite.py: replace full_moon_closeup.jpg (timestamped
photograph) with a procedural grey disc generated via PIL + numpy so the
test does not look like it is reusing an existing image.

"""test_moon_composite.py — smoke-test the cloud-veil composite using local files.
"""test_moon_composite.py — smoke-test the east-sky-backdrop composite.
Uses the sample east frame (21-07-00.jpg) and the reference moon photo
(full_moon_closeup.jpg) already in the repo to produce a composite without
needing a live NASA API call or actual moon detection.
Uses the sample east frame (21-07-00.jpg) already in the repo and a
procedurally generated moon disc (no camera timestamp, no copyright) to
demonstrate the east-sky backdrop without needing a live NASA API call.
Run from the sky-cam directory:
python3 test_moon_composite.py
Output: test_composite_out.jpg in the same directory.
Output: test_composite_out.jpg
The east frame (2026-04-29 21:06:45) shows the moon with visible thin cloud
cover across the sky, so the cloud-veil layer should be clearly active.
The east frame (2026-04-29 21:06:45) shows the moon through visible thin
cloud cover; that sky — blurred to atmospheric haze — becomes the backdrop
behind the procedural moon disc. In production the disc is replaced by the
NASA SVS Dial-a-Moon render for the exact UTC hour east captured the moon.
