Add codex-grid-background detector rule (#328)

* Add codex-grid-background detector rule

Detects the Codex two-axis grid-line background tell: a single background
value carrying two or more hairline `linear-gradient(... 1px, transparent
1px)` layers (one per axis), usually paired with a repeating
`background-size` cell. Gated behind --gpt like the sibling codex tells,
off by default.

Counts hairline stops within a single background declaration (not across
the page) so unrelated single-axis ruled lines don't add up to a false
flag, and matches the stop directly rather than parsing whole gradient
layers, since colors like oklch(...) carry nested parens.

Extends the gpt-tells fixture with one flag case and two pass cases
(single-axis rule, two-color blend), regenerates the browser detector
bundle, and bumps the rule count 44 -> 45.

* Require tiling background-size for codex-grid-background

Address review: two hairline gradients alone draw a fixed crosshair, not a
grid. Scope detection to a single style block (CSS rule body or inline
style attr) and require both >=2 hairline stops AND a tiling
`background-size` px cell in the same block, matching the skill rule's
"plus background-size" wording. Add a crosshair-without-tiling pass case.

* Scope codex-grid-background hairline count to background values

Address review: count hairline stops only inside background/background-image
declaration values, not the whole style block, so a hairline in an unrelated
property (mask-image, border-image) can't stand in for the grid's second
axis. Add a bg+mask-image hairline pass case.
