Add GRID visibility knob and fix spectrum/grid rendering

- Add GRID rotary knob (0-1) controlling grid + axis-label brightness/visibility
- Raise analyser ceiling to 0 dBFS; remove overlapping 0/-6 dB lines
- Set plugin minimum width to 800px (and clamp restored width)
- Extend spectrum signal/peak waves to full plot width
- Render signal wave as quadratic spline to match peak smoothness
- Restore 1px gaps in LED mode
