Fix: Correctly merge overlapping points in LFO editor
Previously, duplicate points created by tools like the square brush were not being merged. This resulted in a poor user experience, as multiple points could exist at the same visual location. Dragging such a point would only move one, leaving the others behind and breaking the perceived shape. This commit resolves the issue by replacing the direct comparison with a robust, epsilon-based distance check. Key changes: - Implemented `mergeDuplicatePoints()` to use `getDistanceFrom()` with a small epsilon to correctly identify points that are effectively duplicates. - The function now manually rebuilds the points list, ensuring that the `curvatures` array is kept in sync with the points array, preventing data corruption and potential crashes. - The merge function is now called after mouse-up events (e.g., finishing a brush stroke or drag), ensuring the LFO data is always clean.
