4affad934e Add per-sink decoder preferences (hardwareAcceleration, optimizeForLatency) (#406)
* Add per-sink decoder preferences to VideoSampleSink and CanvasSink

Adds an optional VideoSinkDecoderOptions ({ hardwareAcceleration,
optimizeForLatency }) parameter to VideoSampleSink, exposed on CanvasSink
via options.decoderOptions, applied to the decoder config before the
VideoDecoderWrapper is constructed.

Motivation: applications that run many sinks concurrently (multi-track
video editors) need to manage hardware decode sessions deliberately -
the number of concurrent hardware sessions is OS-limited, undocumented,
and exceeding it fails silently on some platforms (macOS VideoToolbox
accepts configure() and decode() and simply never outputs). Such an
application places overflow sinks on 'prefer-software' explicitly.
optimizeForLatency is exposed alongside it since it is the other
WebCodecs decoder-config preference an application may want per sink.

The override composes with the existing interlaced-AVC Chromium
workaround, which runs later and can only strengthen the preference
toward software.

Validation mirrors decode.ts's validateVideoDecodingConfig.
