Rewrite CSS from Stevenson 1999 paper — proper table-driven cipher

- tables.rs: 5 CSS specification tables (TAB1-TAB5, mathematical constants)
- lfsr.rs: Table-driven LFSR1 (TAB2/TAB3) + LFSR0 (TAB4), sector seed XOR,
  decrypt_key() mangling function, descramble_sector() with proper feedback
- crack.rs: Stevenson divide-and-conquer attack (2^16 LFSR1 iteration,
  LFSR0 deduction from known plaintext, 10-byte validation)
- No external code copied — original Rust implementation from the 1999 paper
- 225 tests, 0 ignored

//! CSS title key cracking via known-plaintext split attack.
//! CSS title key recovery — Stevenson's divide-and-conquer attack (1999).
//!
//! DVD sectors contain MPEG-2 data with predictable headers.
//! The CSS cipher combines two LFSRs (17-bit + 25-bit) with a
//! carry-add and S-box. The split attack:
//! Given a scrambled DVD sector with known plaintext (MPEG-2 PES headers),
//! recovers the 5-byte title key by:
//!
//! 1. Build lookup table: for all 2^25 LFSR25 seeds, store first output byte
//! 2. For each of 2^17 LFSR17 seeds: compute LFSR17 output at position 128,
//! derive required LFSR25 output from known keystream, look up in table
//! 3. Validate candidates against more keystream bytes
//! 1. XORing ciphertext with TAB1[ciphertext] to cancel the mangling
//! 2. Iterating all 2^16 LFSR1 states
//! 3. For each: deducing what LFSR0 must produce, then verifying
//!
//! Total work: O(2^25 + 2^17) = ~34 million operations = milliseconds.
//! Total work: ~65536 iterations with 10-byte validation = instant.
//!
//! Algorithm: Frank A. Stevenson, "Divide and conquer attack" (1999).
