docs(blog): address reviewer feedback on logarithmic quantities
Pawel Trella and Chip Hogg reviewed the article in the comments. Changes: - The opening example now pairs a watt with a volt on the same `6.0 * dB`, and "Gains carry their domain" closes the loop with the domain-typed fix. - `level + level` is ill-formed because the combination is underdetermined by correlation and phase, not merely because it needs linearizing. - New "Digital audio full scale" section: `dBov` (full scale, also the origin a DAW peak meter uses) and `dBFS (AES17)` 3.01 dB below it, with peak versus RMS placed on the quantity spec rather than the unit. No bare `dBFS` is defined. - The nholthaus survey now describes 3.x, where `dBW + dBW` is deleted, and keeps only what still differs (hardcoded `10 * log10`, power-only decibels, the dimension-based level/gain split, no neper or frequency intervals). - `level + gain` states its rule: matching classification, and a kind that is either the level's own or dimensionless. - Open Question 7 (chaining transfer functions in the log domain) and Open Question 8 (whether a gain carries its domain), both raised by the review.
