Merge cues at the string level instead of round-tripping through pycaption, which dropped inline tags and cue settings. STYLE and REGION blocks are kept, duplicate boundary cues splice correctly, and a bad timing line now skips the cue instead of crashing. Also rank pysubs2 above SubtitleEdit for ASS to TTML/VTT since SubtitleEdit flattens inline styling there. Documented the measured backend fidelity table and added regression tests for the merge.
