Fix scroll off-by-one in synthetic flood; guard repro against buffer scroll

generateColoredAsciiFlood emitted a trailing \r\n after its final cell, so a
flood whose last line lands on the bottom row scrolled the screen. In the
alt-buffer repro this destroyed the pinned header row in the BUFFER, making
the 255/255 signature diff a content change, not renderer corruption. The
single-terminal merge path is actually healthy: with the scroll removed the
same 30-chunk merge-heavy workload renders the header with zero drift.

- generateColoredAsciiFlood: no linefeed after the final cell
- WebglReproExperiment: now a green guard; asserts row-1 buffer text first so
  a content bug can never masquerade as corruption again
- WebglVisual: accurate comments; erase rewritten lines so leftover prefill
  text doesn't look like corruption
- WebglSingleTermStress: replace stale EXPECTED-RED comment (test passes)

* EXPERIMENT: try to reproduce vscode#322756 garbled single-terminal render.
*
* Single-terminal guard for the vscode#322756 "garbled glyph" class: a pinned
* alt-buffer header must render identically while the body churns enough
* distinct colored glyphs to force texture-atlas page merges.
*
* Note this scenario is GREEN on current master: the single-terminal mid-frame
* merge race was fixed upstream (merge-retry loop in WebglRenderer.renderRows +
* globally monotonic AtlasPage versions). The test asserts the buffer content
* first so a content bug (e.g. an accidental scroll from the churn stream) can
* never masquerade as renderer corruption.
