docs: add MTRSimFilter overview/algorithm/ODF figures
Embed the conceptual "what it generates" and "how it works" slides (converted from output/avatar_slides) plus an ODF Euler-space figure into the filter documentation. Also correct the Execute error code in the table to -13050 to match the algorithm source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This **Filter** runs a plurigaussian random field (PGRF) Micro-Texture Region (MTR) simulation to produce a fully synthetic crystallographic microstructure. Each voxel of the output **Image Geometry** is assigned to one of N microtexture components via correlated latent Gaussian fields and a winner-takes-all assignment rule; a crystallographic orientation is then sampled from that component's Orientation Distribution Function (ODF). The result is a synthetic microstructure with per-voxel MTR ids and Bunge Euler angles (and optional polar coloring), suitable for downstream texture analysis or as a training dataset.

The algorithm reproduces the behavior of the MATLAB MTRSim research code (`matlab/simulateMTR.m`). Input ODFs are typically prepared by the **Read MTRSim ODF (HDF5)** or **Compute ODF From Euler Angles** filters; the bin layout and axis conventions defined by those filters are used directly by this filter.

*From per-component volume fractions, spatial correlation lengths (θ), and per-component ODFs (left), MTRSim generates a spatially-correlated, IPF-colored polycrystal cross-section (right). HCP α-titanium is shown.*

1. The ODF grid geometry (bin spacing in degrees) is read from the **Input ODF Geometry**. The component data arrays are assembled in the order specified by **ODF Component Arrays** — this order is critical and must match the Volume Fraction columns.
