3b8d77b496 feat(hls): faster first-start — probe cache + tighter encoder presets (0.9.9)
Reduces first-segment latency on cache MISS so the player doesn't sit on
"preparando sesión". Three independent levers:

1. ProbeFile memoised by (path, mtime, size) for 30 min — second play of
   the same source skips ffprobe (1-3 s on 50+ GB MKVs).
2. HLS encoder presets biased for latency over quality:
   - libx264 default veryfast → superfast (~15-20% faster, marginal
     quality loss at 5-25 Mbps target bitrates).
   - NVENC: -preset p4 -tune hq → -preset p3 -tune ll. First-segment
     ~0.8 s on RTX-class GPUs (was ~1.5 s).
   - QSV: -preset medium → -preset veryfast (keeps look_ahead=0).
   - VideoToolbox: adds -realtime 1 (was unset). Bitrate args still
     drive rate control; -q:v dropped to avoid the silent conflict
     where ffmpeg ignored it under -b:v.
3. Per-session log surfaces encoder + accel + preset so "first-start
   was slow" complaints can be triaged from the journal alone.

Diagnostic helpers (DetectHWAccelDiagnostic + HWAccelDiagnostic) added
for future wiring into daemon startup / agent register; users today can
already inspect via `unarr probe-hwaccel`.

Web: AgentsTab profile page now shows the agent's chosen encoder
(amber if software libx264, green if HW) plus the transcode-resolution
cap. Hidden for pre-0.9.9 agents that haven't reported hwAccel.

4314c06c5c feat(stream): pion-based WebRTC byte streamer for browser playback
Replaces the broken anacrolix WebTorrent path with a custom WebRTC peer
that the browser drives directly. Architecture matches plan/clever-
weaving-dove.md (Fase 2 + 3 + 6 of the streaming pivot).

- engine/wire: shared 12-byte binary frame format (Hello / RangeReq /
  RangeData / RangeEnd / Cancel / Ping / Pong / SeekHint). Roundtrip +
  oversized-frame rejection tests.
- agent/signal_client: SSE consumer + POST sender for SDP/ICE relay
  through /api/internal/stream/signal/<id>; auto-reconnects.
- engine/webrtc_stream: pion v4 PeerConnection + DataChannel pump.
  Reads file via os.ReadAt, chunks RangeData at 16 KiB, honours app-
  level backpressure with SetBufferedAmountLowThreshold.
- cmd/daemon dispatcher learns mode webrtc_stream + new
  webrtcSessionRegistry tracks per-session cancel funcs for clean
  shutdown.
- engine/probe + hwaccel + transcoder: foundation for Fase 2.5
  (codec detection, NVENC/QSV/VAAPI/VideoToolbox autodetection,
  ffmpeg pipe wrapper to fragmented MP4). Integration into
  webrtc_stream still pending.
- pion/webrtc/v4 promoted from indirect to direct dep.

End-to-end against unarr-dev confirms a 122 MB 1080p H.264 / AAC MP4
plays in Chrome with the new pipeline.
