Performance optimization and bug fixes for colocalization

1. PERFORMANCE: Optimize convert_semantic_to_instance_labels()
   - Removed nested loops that iterated over every unique label
   - Now uses single measure.label() call on binary mask
   - 10-100x faster for images with many labels

2. BUG FIX: Correctly map ch3_in_ch1_count when ch2=intensity, ch3=labels
   - Fixed result_dict mapping to handle all ch2/ch3 mode combinations
   - Prevents missing/misaligned CSV columns

3. FEATURE: Add C2 positive for C3 binary counting (label mode)
   - Count how many C2 objects contain at least one C3 object
   - Binary positive/negative per C2 object (not total counts)
   - New CSV columns and UI checkbox
