Detect side-tab borders on modern color formats and label cards

- Fix isNeutralColor to handle oklch, oklab, lch, lab, hsl, and hwb
  with format-specific chroma/saturation thresholds. jsdom returns
  these formats literally, so the previous rgb-only regex caused every
  modern-format border color to be silently treated as neutral and
  skipped by checkBorders.
- Flip the unknown-format fallback from neutral to colored, so
  unrecognized color strings err on the side of detection.
- Introduce a narrower BORDER_SAFE_TAGS set (SAFE_TAGS minus 'label')
  used only by the border checks. Card-shaped clickable labels with
  thick colored side borders are now detected, while colors, motion,
  and nested-card checks continue to skip labels to avoid false
  positives on real form labels.
- Add tests/fixtures/antipatterns/modern-color-borders.html with 8
  flag cases (oklch x3, oklab, lch, lab, plus 2 label cards) and
  10 pass cases (neutrals across formats, plain inline labels,
  thin/neutral-bordered labels, colored-on-all-sides).

Reproducer (preop-portal demo): side-tab findings rise from 0 to 12.
