fix: merge overlapping OCR words with different text (Stick/Stück)

Browse Source 
Two issues in paddle-kombi word merge:

1. Overlap threshold too strict: PaddleOCR "Stick" and Tesseract
   "Stück" overlap at 48.6%, just below the 50% threshold. Both words
   ended up in the result, overlapping on the same position.
   Fix: lower threshold from 50% to 40%.

2. Text selection blind to confidence: always took PaddleOCR text
   even when Tesseract had higher confidence and correct text.
   Fix: when texts differ due to spatial-only match, prefer the
   engine with higher confidence.
