fix(host/linux): satisfy clippy -D warnings on the cursor-blend path
The Linux clippy leg has been red since 5249d31d (cursor-as-metadata):
that push was verified fmt-green but the -D warnings clippy step (which
only compiles the Linux/CUDA target) was not. Five findings:

- capture/linux/mod.rs: the spa_meta_bitmap field-read unsafe block had
  no adjacent SAFETY comment (the preceding one documents the pointer
  arithmetic block, not this deref).
- zerocopy/cuda.rs: the cuModuleGetFunction unsafe block's SAFETY comment
  sat before the enclosing closure instead of adjacent to the block.
- zerocopy/cuda.rs: blend_argb/blend_yuv444/blend_nv12 tripped
  too_many_arguments (9/7) — geometry+cursor-size+offset params that a
  struct would only unpack at the call site; allow, matching the crate's
  existing use of the attribute.

Unblocks the 0.12.0 release (main must be green before the tag).

//! Live capture: xdg ScreenCast portal (`ashpd`) → PipeWire (`pipewire`), CPU-copy path.
//!
//! Two dedicated threads, because both stacks are tied to their thread:
//! * **portal thread** drives the async ashpd handshake on a multi-thread tokio runtime
//! (control plane — never the per-frame path), then parks on a pending future so the
//! `proxy` + its zbus connection stay alive (the cast is torn down when that connection
//! drops; ashpd's `Session` has no `Drop`);
//! * **pipewire thread** owns the (`!Send`) MainLoop/Stream and pumps frames.
//!
//! The portal hands the PipeWire remote fd + node id to the pipewire thread; decoded BGRx
//! frames leave the pipewire thread over a bounded channel. The authoritative frame size
//! comes from the negotiated PipeWire format, not the portal's size hint.
//!
//! Cleanup: the pipewire thread is stopped deterministically — [`PortalCapturer`]'s `Drop`
//! sends a pipewire `channel` quit and joins the thread, so dropping a capturer (session end,
//! or a retried/failed pipeline build) releases its EGL importer / CUDA context promptly
//! instead of leaking it to process exit. The portal thread (when used) still parks on its zbus
//! connection until process exit.
// Every `unsafe` block in this file carries a `// SAFETY:` proof; enforce it (unsafe-proof program).
