fix: Real-ESRGAN install + Cookbook deps-panel crash on the Python 3.14 image (#4694)

* fix(docker): make Real-ESRGAN installable on the Python 3.14 image

realesrgan's deps basicsr/gfpgan/facexlib (unmaintained since 2022) read
their version in setup.py via `exec(...); locals()['__version__']`, which
raises KeyError on Python 3.13+ — PEP 667 made locals() in a function an
independent snapshot that exec() can no longer mutate. That fails the
Cookbook "install realesrgan" sdist build on the python:3.14 base.

Add a `realesrgan-wheels` builder stage that fetches the pinned sdists,
patches get_version() to exec into an explicit namespace dict, and builds
wheels; the final stage installs them --no-deps so a later
`pip install realesrgan` resolves from wheels instead of rebuilding the
broken sdists. torch stays a runtime pull to keep the base image lean.

Also add the runtime libs opencv-python (cv2) needs — libgl1,
libglib2.0-0t64, libxcb1 — which the slim base omits; without them the
install succeeds but `import cv2` dies with
`libxcb.so.1: cannot open shared object file`.

* fix(cookbook): don't let a package's sys.exit() on import hang the deps panel

The local optional-dependency probe imports each package in-process and
catches ImportError / Exception. But a package can call sys.exit() at
import time — e.g. rembg does `sys.exit(1)` when no onnxruntime backend
loads. SystemExit is a BaseException, not Exception, so it escaped the
probe, propagated out of the list_packages endpoint, and hung the whole
Dependencies panel / worker (the UI loads forever).

Catch (Exception, SystemExit) so one broken optional package is reported
as not-usable instead of taking down the panel.
