perf(oiiotool): oiiotool --mosaic improve type conversion (#3979)

`oiiotool --mosaic` was always allocating a `float` buffer for the
result. Instead, make it use the "widest" data type of the input images.
So, for example, if you are making a mosaic of uint8 images, the result
buffer should be uint8, not have to allocate 4x bigger nor do
uint8->float conversions as it pastes the images.
