feat(clients/apple): AV1 decode support — OBU plumbing, hardware-gated advertisement
The Apple client was HEVC/H.264-only: the receive path spoke Annex-B NALs
exclusively, so AV1 was never advertised and the codec picker hid it. Add
the OBU flavor of the same plumbing (AV1.swift, sibling of AnnexB.swift):
a zero-copy OBU walker, a full spec-5.5.1 sequence-header parser, an av1C
CMVideoFormatDescription with colorimetry extensions (so isHDRFormat and
the presenter stay codec-agnostic), and an ISOBMFF 'av01' sample repack
(temporal delimiter stripped, everything size-fielded, one copy per AU).

VideoCodec gains .av1 (wire 0x04); both pumps and VideoDecoder route
through dispatching formatDescription(fromKeyframe:)/sampleBuffer(au:) —
keyframe gating keys on the in-band sequence header exactly as the NAL
codecs key on in-band parameter sets, so loss recovery and mid-session
reconfigure work unchanged. AV1 sessions require a hardware decoder
(VideoToolbox has no software AV1; same fail-fast policy as 4:4:4), and
both the Hello advertisement and the Settings picker are gated on
VTIsHardwareDecodeSupported — AV1 only appears on devices that can
actually decode it (M3-class Macs, A17 Pro-class iPhones; no Apple TV).

Tests: real SVT-AV1 blobs (generation recipe in the file) cover the walk,
the parse against an independent reference, av1C bytes, delta-TU gating,
repack byte-exactness, and — on AV1 hardware — a real
VTDecompressionSession decode through VideoDecoder. Host precedence stays
HEVC > AV1 > H.264, so AV1 engages only when explicitly picked.

// Annex-B (HEVC / H.264) → CoreMedia plumbing.
//
// The punktfunk host emits Annex-B access units with in-band parameter sets on every IDR
// (deliberately — the client needs no out-of-band extradata). VideoToolbox wants the AVCC
// flavor instead: a CMVideoFormatDescription built from the parameter sets, and sample
// buffers whose NALs are 4-byte-length-prefixed. This file converts between the two, for
// the codec the host resolved in the Welcome (`connection.videoCodec`) — HEVC and H.264
// differ only in NAL-header layout and which parameter sets exist (HEVC adds a VPS). AV1
// is not an Annex-B/NAL codec and isn't handled here — its OBU flavor of the same plumbing
// lives in AV1.swift, and the pumps reach both through `VideoCodec`'s dispatching
// `formatDescription(fromKeyframe:)` / `sampleBuffer(au:format:)`, so nothing below is ever
// called with `.av1`.
//
// HOT PATH: both pumps run `formatDescription(fromIDR:codec:)` + `sampleBuffer(au:format:codec:)`
// once per AU, so the conversion is built on `forEachNAL` — a zero-copy scan over the AU's bytes
// (ranges, not materialized Datas) — and `sampleBuffer` packs the AVCC form straight into
// the CMBlockBuffer's own allocation. Per AU that leaves exactly one copy here (source →
// block buffer) instead of the naive scan-copy-slice-repack chain.
