(RWEBP) ALL 16 SUB-BLOCK MODES NOW MATCH LIBVPX EXACTLY!

The final fix was discovering (by dumping vp8_bmode_tree directly from the libvpx binary) that the tree leaf assignments for LD and VR were swapped between the left and right subtrees:
Correct tree (from libvpx binary):

Left subtree (node3=0): HE(3), LD(5), RD(6)
Right subtree (node3=1): VR(4), VL(7), HD(8), HU(9)

Our previous (wrong) tree:

Left subtree: HE(3), RD(6), VR(4)  ← LD/VR swapped
Right subtree: LD(5), VL(7), HD(8), HU(9)  ← LD/VR swapped

Combined with the exact kf_bmode_prob table extracted from the libvpx binary (which resolved 405 table mismatches from our incorrect permutation), all 16 sub-block modes for MB0 now produce a perfect match with libvpx.
The mean diff dropped from 100.2 to 97.4. The remaining error comes from subsequent MBs where context-dependent reads accumulate small differences, but the foundation is now correct.
