build: migrate to ffmpeg-next 8 (FFmpeg 8.x / libavcodec 62)

Ubuntu 26.04 ships FFmpeg 8.0 (libavcodec 62); bump ffmpeg-next 7.1 -> 8.1 to bind it
as the intended pairing. No source changes needed — the encode API surface we use
(avcodec_send_frame, hwframe contexts, AV_PIX_FMT_CUDA, av_log) is stable across 7->8.
Workspace builds + all tests green; clippy/fmt clean. Refresh the 7.x doc references.
