test: real-executing coverage for mux codecPrivate/DefaultDuration, sweep damage-jump, patch watchdog clock seam, and AACS CBC KAT

mux/mkv: assert emitted CODEC_PRIVATE bytes verbatim for H.264/HEVC/VC-1/
MPEG-2 (direct TrackEntry child, not nested in Video) and DefaultDuration ns
for all eight frame rates, read back out of a real MkvMuxer.

disc/sweep: end-to-end Disc::sweep against a synthetic MockReader with an
injected bad region, asserting the resulting mapfile marks the clean lead
Finished and the failed batch + zero-filled skip-ahead gap NonTrimmed,
proving the Pass-1 damage-jump engaged.

disc/patch: introduce a minimal clock seam (fn() -> Instant on the internal
PatchLoopState, defaulting to Instant::now) so the per-range and whole-pass
watchdogs are deterministically testable; public API and callers unchanged,
production behavior identical. Add tests that advance a fake clock to trip the
range budget and whole-pass stall predicate.

aacs: add an AES-128-CBC known-answer test for aes_cbc_decrypt using the
published NIST SP 800-38A F.2.2 vector (blocks 1..3 exact; block 0 via the
documented fixed-AACS-IV substitution).
