fix(capture): stop stranding a PipeWire buffer on a caught panic; invalidate the PyroWave CSC on ring recreate

Two medium findings from the round-1 sweep.

- The `.process` callback dequeued a buffer INSIDE its `catch_unwind`, and every
  requeue site was inside too. `newest` is a raw pointer with no Drop, so any
  caught panic (update_cursor_meta / consume_frame) unwound past all three
  requeues and permanently stranded that buffer. Once the stream's fixed pool
  drained, `dequeue_raw_buffer` returned null every call and capture silently
  wedged while still reporting negotiated/active — defeating the very
  catch_unwind that was meant to keep a panic survivable. The drain loop now runs
  OUTSIDE the catch (dequeue/queue are non-panicking C FFI pointer ops) and
  `newest` is requeued exactly once after it, on every path: normal,
  corrupted-skip, or caught panic.

- `recreate_ring` invalidated `video_conv` and `hdr_p010_conv` but not
  `pyro_conv`. That converter is mode-baked — BgraToYuvPlanes selects entirely
  different shaders and output formats for SDR (8-bit BT.709 → R8/R8G8) vs HDR
  (scRGB→PQ BT.2020 → R16/R16G16) — and `ensure_pyro_conv` only builds when None,
  so a display_hdr flip reused the stale SDR converter against a freshly
  HDR-formatted pyro ring, corrupting every frame. Reachable at the documented
  "Downgrade point D": a PyroWave session with client_10bit=true that opens on a
  box where HDR can't enable, then flips once the display comes up.

Linux .21: pf-capture 1/0. Windows .173: `cargo check -p pf-capture` clean.
