feat(apple): stage-2 presenter — explicit decode + Metal present + glass-to-glass
Opt-in (Settings -> Presenter; `punktfunk.presenter`, default stage-1). Stage-1's
AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer decodes AND presents internally with no per-frame
callback, so neither decode nor present can be stamped or hand-paced. Stage-2
takes explicit control:

- VideoDecoder: VTDecompressionSession, async output callback stamps
  decode-completion, session rebuilt on every IDR / format change. Unit-tested
  (testVideoDecoderAsyncCallbackDeliversPixels).
- MetalVideoPresenter: CAMetalLayer + CVMetalTextureCache + a runtime-compiled
  BT.709 limited-range NV12->RGB shader, present at the next vsync. The
  CVMetalTextures + pixel buffer are held until the GPU completes.
- Stage2Pipeline: pump thread -> decoder -> newest-ready 1-slot ring; the hosting
  view's display link drains it once per vsync and stamps capture->present
  (the display-link target time projected into CLOCK_REALTIME).
- LatencyMeter gains record(ptsNs:atNs:offsetNs:); the HUD shows a capture->present
  (glass-to-glass, modulo host render->capture) line, skew-corrected via
  clockOffsetNs. Measured live ~11 ms p50 vs ~2.2 ms capture->client.
- StreamView / StreamViewIOS host the CAMetalLayer as a sublayer + a CADisplayLink
  (NSView.displayLink on macOS) when stage-2; input capture + HUD unchanged. The
  session-active gates switch from `pump != nil` to `connection != nil` so capture
  engages without a StreamPump.

Validated: builds macOS/iOS/tvOS; the decode half is unit-tested; the Metal
present is live-validated on glass (correct image + the capture->present number).
Colorspace is BT.709 SDR for now; 10-bit/HDR + a pacing policy are later.
Plan: docs-site/content/docs/apple-stage2-presenter.md.

// Stage-2 presenter, decode half: explicit VideoToolbox decode of the host's HEVC AUs.
//
// Stage-1 hands compressed samples to AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer, which decodes AND presents
// internally with no per-frame callback so neither decode-completion nor present can be
// stamped, and frames can't be hand-paced. Here we drive VTDecompressionSession ourselves: the
// output callback delivers a decoded CVPixelBuffer, we stamp decode-completion, and push it into
// a ready ring the presenter's display link drains. See docs apple-stage2-presenter.md.
