Fix pypdfium rasterizer to match Ghostscript dimensions

The pypdfium rasterizer was producing output images that differed by 1
pixel compared to Ghostscript due to floating-point precision issues in
dimension calculations.

Root cause:
- pypdfium used harmonic mean of x/y DPI to calculate a single scale
  factor, losing the distinction between x and y DPI
- No DPI rounding like Ghostscript's 6-decimal precision
- Compound rounding errors when converting points to pixels

Solution:
1. Round DPI to 6 decimals to match Ghostscript's precision
2. Calculate expected output dimensions using separate x/y DPI values
3. Handle dimension swapping for 90°/270° rotations
4. Resize output image if off by 1-2 pixels (graceful correction)

This ensures pixel-perfect matching with Ghostscript while being
minimally invasive and only resizing when necessary.

Changes:
- Modified _render_page_to_bitmap() to calculate expected dimensions
- Modified _process_image_for_output() to correct small discrepancies
- Updated rasterize_pdf_page() to pass dimensions through pipeline
- Parametrized rotation tests to run with both rasterizers

All 45 rotation tests now pass with both pypdfium and ghostscript.

Fixes test_rotated_skew_timeout with pypdfium rasterizer.
