enricobuehler 12843fe253 feat(protocol,clients): codec preference negotiation + Linux client decodes per Welcome (Phase 2a)
Adds a client-selectable **preferred codec** and wires the core + ABI + probe + Linux client to
negotiate and decode it. (Windows/Apple/Android follow in 2b.)

**Core:**
- `Hello.preferred_codec` (a single CODEC_* bit, 0 = auto) — a soft hint appended after
  `video_codecs`. `resolve_codec(client, host, preferred)` now honors the preference when the host
  can also emit it, else falls back to precedence (HEVC > AV1 > H.264). Roundtrip + preference tests.
- `NativeClient::connect` takes `video_codecs` + `preferred_codec`; `NativeClient.codec` exposes the
  resolved `Welcome.codec`.
- ABI: `punktfunk_connect_ex7` (adds the two codec params; `ex6` delegates to it advertising
  HEVC-only) + `punktfunk_connection_codec` getter + `PUNKTFUNK_CODEC_{H264,HEVC,AV1}` constants
  (drift-guarded against the wire values). Header regenerated.

**Host:** passes `hello.preferred_codec` into `resolve_codec`.

**probe:** `--codec h264|hevc|av1|auto` sets the preference (still advertises it can decode all
three); the dump extension already follows the resolved codec.

**Linux client:** advertises the codecs FFmpeg can actually decode (`decodable_codecs()`), threads
the user's `codec` setting as the preference, and builds the decoder — both the software and VAAPI
paths, plus the mid-session VAAPI→software demotion — from the negotiated `Welcome.codec` instead of
hardcoding HEVC. New "Video codec" dropdown in Preferences (Automatic/HEVC/H.264/AV1).

Live-validated on the dev box: probe `--codec hevc` against a software (H.264-only) host resolves to
H.264 (graceful soft-preference fallback), no failure. clippy + core (57) + host (133) tests green.

pf-driver-proto

The shared host ↔ driver binary contract for punktfunk's Windows pf-vdisplay virtual display — the control IOCTLs and the IDD-push frame transport, defined exactly once.

It's a path dependency of both the host workspace (crates/punktfunk-host) and the out-of-workspace driver workspace (packaging/windows/drivers/), so it must resolve identically from either build graph. That's why it's deliberately self-contained: no_std (+ alloc), platform-neutral (GUID/LUID are plain integers each side converts to its own OS type), and free of *.workspace = true inheritance.

Defining every wire struct here — with const size/offset asserts and bytemuck round-trips — turns host↔driver ABI drift into a compile error instead of a silent frame or IOCTL corruption.

See the crate root (src/) for the wire types; the Windows virtual-display design is in design/windows-virtual-display-rust-port.md.
