feat(altair): implement area-mountain-panorama (#9563)

## Summary
- Regeneration from quality 93 — fixes canvas, label overlaps, and adds
new visual features
- Canvas fixed to exactly 3200×1800 via `width=620 height=190
scale_factor=4.0` + PIL pad-only; explicit `alt.Scale` on secondary
layers was found to cause ~2× height overhead in vl-convert (sky layer
is the sole scale anchor)
- Alpenglow rim highlight (`mark_line`, ALPENGLOW color,
strokeWidth=3.5) added at the sky-to-silhouette boundary (DE-01
improvement)
- `"python"` language token added to mandated title string
- Elevation sub-labels raised to `fontSize=12` (= 48 source px at
scale_factor=4.0, ≥ 48 px spec requirement)
- Comment corrected from "Okabe-Ito" → "Imprint palette"
- Label overlap fixed: reduced from 9 → 6 peaks (dropped Ober Gabelhorn
at 30° and Liskamm at 97° whose 12° gaps to neighbors prevent clean
stagger); Dent Blanche uses `align="right"` so its text extends left of
the leader, clearing Matterhorn's center-aligned SPECIAL label at
14°/48px gap

## Test plan
- [x] `ANYPLOT_THEME=light python altair.py` → `plot-light.png` =
3200×1800 ✓
- [x] `ANYPLOT_THEME=dark python altair.py` → `plot-dark.png` =
3200×1800 ✓
- [x] `ruff check --fix` + `ruff format` — clean ✓
