James Dansereau a548fc4de6 port: D397 — fix file-select/gun-barrel comb via RDP scanline-range snap in gfx_draw_rectangle
Root cause H2 confirmed: the gun-barrel / file-select vertical gradient is
built from 0.75-native-pixel-tall gSPTextureRectangle row strips (title2.c
(<<2)-1 bottom idiom). On the N64 RDP the scan converter floors the U10.2
edges to whole scanlines, so each strip rasterizes to exactly one scanline;
gfx_draw_rectangle passed the fractional edges straight to the GPU's
continuous rasterizer, aliasing the 0.75px pitch into a periodic 'comb'
(fixed ~3-native-row period; window period = 3*scale — confirmed by a
3-scale 640/1024/1280 GE_PCDUMP test).

Fix (port-layer, surgical): after the sub-pixel offset, floor the top edge to
its scanline and the bottom edge to the last covered scanline (the RDP
scanline range [top_scan, bot_scan+1]) before NDC conversion. No-op for
whole-pixel rects (edges already 4k/4k-1), so only sub-pixel strips change
and normal fills are untouched.

Also: remove the temporary GE_D397SH / D397SHM env-gated shader probes
(gfx_opengl.cpp, gfx_pc.cpp) now that the root cause is settled.

Docs: findings.md D397 -> RESOLVED (+3-scale confirmation + fix record),
findings-index.csv regenerated, porting-notes.md section D15 marked resolved
with the landed fix.

Verified by playtest: gun-barrel + file-select gradient render clean, comb
gone.
