chore(licensing): LGPL FFmpeg swap, third-party notices, attribution hygiene

The MIT OR Apache-2.0 SOURCE license is clean (audit found no copied copyleft); the
gaps were all binary-distribution (Layer-2). This makes the shipped artifacts honest:

- Windows host + client: bundled FFmpeg BtbN gpl-shared -> lgpl-shared (AMF/QSV/decode
  unaffected; the GPL-only x264/x265 were never used), and ship the FFmpeg LGPL notice
  + license text in the installer + MSIX (licenses/).
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt generated + bundled into installer/MSIX/deb/rpm. Offline
  generator (scripts/gen-third-party-notices.{py,sh}) + cargo-about config (about.toml/
  .hbs) with a permissive-only accepted-license allow-list as a copyleft regression gate.
- Reword the win32u GPU-preference hook comments to reflect independent reimplementation
  (no Apollo/Sunshine GPL-3.0 source copied).
- README dual-license + inbound=outbound contributor clause + non-affiliation trademark
  disclaimer; new CONTRIBUTING.md.
- LICENSE files into the standalone driver + vk-layer workspaces; deb copyright holder
  aligned to "unom and the punktfunk contributors".

### Contribution
Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in
the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any
additional terms or conditions. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
### Third-party components
punktfunk's own source is MIT/Apache-2.0. Shipped binaries additionally link third-party components
under their own (permissive) licenses — see [`THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt`](THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt)
(regenerate with `scripts/gen-third-party-notices.sh`). The Windows host and client builds also
bundle FFmpeg under the **LGPL v2.1+** (dynamically linked, replaceable DLLs; the license text and
notice ship in the installed `licenses/` folder).
