fix(clients): the settings you chose reach the stream again, and four more that never did

Since spec mode (`f32c3aaa`, shipped in 0.22.0) the GTK shell has handed the session
a `--resolved-spec` built from `Settings::default()`. A session running from a spec
performs ZERO store reads by design, so every stream since has run at the defaults:
`bitrate_kbps: 0` reaches the host, which reads it as its 20 Mbps fallback — the
field report this starts from, "my bitrate seems to be stuck at 20 MBPS" on 0.22.3 —
and with it the resolution, refresh, render scale, codec, decoder, HDR, 4:4:4, audio
channels, mic, touch/mouse mode, invert scroll, stats tier, match-window and gamepad
type. Profiles never applied at all: the spec's `profile` was None, and spec mode
ignores `--profile`. The tell in the wild is that the GPU and audio-device pickers
kept working — the session reads those three off disk into env vars before it reads
the spec.

The plan carried a comment explaining that `settings` "carries only what the argv
needs (the fullscreen flag)". That was true when it was written and stopped being
true one commit later, in another file. `ConnectPlan::for_target` answers that shape
of bug: a front-end holding its own request type resolves through the same helper the
session's compat path uses, so there is no hand-built `Settings` left to go stale.
The GTK shell's `fullscreen_on_stream` parameter goes with it — that is a tier-P
field, and a shell-read global was beating a profile that set it. The Windows shell
was never affected (it spawns with no spec) but had the same fullscreen-vs-profile
bug, so it moves onto the resolver too.

The audit that followed found four more settings stored, rendered in two UIs, and
read by nothing:

- `enable_444` never became `VIDEO_CAP_444`. "Full chroma (4:4:4)" is announced in
  the 0.22.0 notes for Linux and Windows and did nothing on either; only Apple
  advertised the bit. The host already gates it on its own policy, its capturer,
  HEVC and a real GPU probe, and answers the resolved chroma in the Welcome before
  we build a decoder — the client only has to ask. There is no desktop decode probe
  (Apple has `Stage444Probe`), but the presenter bails cleanly on a plane format it
  doesn't know and demotes to software, so the downside is a slow decode, not a
  broken one.
- `session_params` picked the HEIGHT fallback off `settings.width == 0`.
- `cli::exec_session` dropped `--profile` from its forward list, so
  `punktfunk --connect … --profile Work` from a script or a Decky wrapper streamed
  with the host's binding instead.
- `ResolvedSpec::write_temp` named the spec by the SPAWNER's pid alone, so a
  cancelled connect and the retry behind it shared one path — and the first child's
  exit deleted the file the second was still starting up to read.

The regression test asserts the plan carries the profile-overlaid bitrate and that
the spec equals it. On the old code both are 0.
