enricobuehler ba68a98873 docs(host): prove every unsafe block in the Linux FFI files + gate them (unsafe-proof program 2/N)
Continues the structural unsafe-proof program (every unsafe carries a documented
proof of soundness; the file gains #![deny(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]
so it stays proven). This batch covers all 10 remaining pure-Linux files
(104 blocks), each proof stating the REAL invariant — not boilerplate:

  zerocopy/cuda.rs (26)   leaked process-lifetime libcuda fn-ptr table; opaque
                          CUcontext never dereferenced; free-exactly-once via the
                          Arc<Mutex<PoolInner>> ownership graph; dmabuf fd take/close split
  zerocopy/egl.rs (18)    eglGetProcAddress'd procs with the GL context current;
                          EGLImage liveness; the two-call modifier-query bounds
  zerocopy/vulkan.rs (4)  copy-bounds arithmetic (src_size>=span); Send = thread
                          confinement to the punktfunk-pipewire thread
  dmabuf_fence.rs (4)     poll/ioctl/close fd liveness + ownership
  capture/linux/mod.rs (16)  spa_data repr(transparent) cast; null-checked spa
                          derefs; single-loop-thread buffer ownership until requeue
  inject/linux/gamepad.rs (10)  uinput ioctl request-number ↔ struct-size match
                          (static-asserted); InputEventRaw no-padding for the byte cast
  encode/linux/vaapi.rs (15) + encode/linux/mod.rs (9)  ffmpeg object ownership/
                          free ladders; VAAPI/DRM graph; Send = single-thread transfer
  inject/linux/wlr.rs (2), vdisplay/linux/kwin.rs (1)

No memory-unsafety SUSPECT blocks were found — the unsafe is sound. The vaapi
agent did flag two real AVBufferRef *leaks* (not UB) in DmabufInner::open; marked
inline with NOTE(leak) and addressed in a follow-up.

Verified: cargo clippy -p punktfunk-host --all-targets -- -D warnings is clean
(each file's deny gate hard-errors on any undocumented block).

//! NVENC encoder via `ffmpeg-next` (binds the system FFmpeg — `ffmpeg-sys-next` auto-detects the
//! installed version, so this builds against FFmpeg 7.x/libavcodec 61 *or* 8.x/libavcodec 62;
//! validated live on Ubuntu 26.04 (FFmpeg 8) and Bazzite F43 (FFmpeg 7.1)).
//!
//! Input is a packed RGB/BGR CPU frame; `*_nvenc` accepts `rgb0`/`bgr0`/`rgba`/`bgra`
//! directly and does the RGB→YUV conversion on the GPU, so the host stays off the
//! colour-conversion path. The portal commonly negotiates packed 24-bit `RGB`, which NVENC
//! does *not* accept — we expand it to `rgb0` (one padding byte/pixel, no colour math).
//! The encoder is opened *without* a global header so VPS/SPS/PPS are emitted in-band on
//! every IDR — the output is both a playable raw Annex-B stream and self-contained AUs.
// Every `unsafe` block in this file carries a `// SAFETY:` proof; enforce it (unsafe-proof program).
