feat: improve visual appearance with dynamic rod bounds and better spacing

This commit enhances the visual quality of the soroban abacus cards with two key improvements:

1. Dynamic Rod Bounds:
   - Rod (gray column indicator) now dynamically calculates its bounds based on actual bead positions
   - No longer extends past outermost beads, creating a cleaner, more professional appearance
   - Accounts for hide-inactive option to only span visible beads
   - Handles edge cases like zero with hidden beads (rod spans just reckoning bar area)

2. Improved Inactive Bead Spacing:
   - Increased inactive bead separation from 5pt to 8pt for better visual distinction
   - Active beads maintain original 1pt spacing (close to reckoning bar)
   - Creates clearer visual separation between active and inactive states

Technical Changes:
- Complete rewrite of rod positioning logic with dynamic bounds calculation
- Pre-calculates all bead positions before drawing rod
- Rod spans from outermost heaven bead to outermost earth bead
- Maintains physical abacus logic while improving aesthetics

Visual Impact:
- Cleaner, more professional appearance
- Better distinction between active/inactive beads
- Rod perfectly fits within bead boundaries for each column
- Consistent across all formats (PDF, SVG, web)
