v0.17.11: sweep producer/consumer split — overlap drive read with file write

Pre-0.17.11 sweep ran strictly serialised: SCSI read → decrypt → seek
+ write → mapfile.record → next read. Drive idled for the post-read
work; throughput capped at the sum of both costs. On a healthy disc
that's ~7-12 ms read + ~5-15 ms write/record per 64 KB batch, limiting
sustained throughput to ~10-12 MB/s on the test bed (BU40N + UHD inner
zone), well below the ~14-16 MB/s drive ceiling.

Decouples them: producer thread (caller's) owns SectorReader +
read_error state + decrypt + set_speed + halt; consumer thread (one
spawn) owns Writer + Mapfile, receives WorkItem messages, applies
file write + mapfile record. Bounded mpsc::sync_channel(4) gives
natural back-pressure. While the consumer writes batch N, the
producer is already reading batch N+1 — steady-state throughput is
now bound by the slower of the two pipelines (drive on healthy
discs), not their sum.

Side effects:
- Bisect path now decrypts. Pre-0.17.11 the bisect inner loop wrote
  raw cyphertext for single-sector recoveries on encrypted discs —
  quiet correctness bug exercised only by batch-fail-then-
  bisect-succeed on encrypted media. New producer-side decrypt
  covers main + bisect success paths uniformly.
- All read_ctx state stays single-threaded on producer (damage
  window, jump multiplier, etc.). No locking added.
- Mapfile remains single-writer on consumer. No locking.
- Halt latency: producer breaks loop, sends Finish, consumer drains
  ≤4 in-flight items + sync_all. ~1 batch (~12 ms) typical.
- BU40N + Initio bridge wedge concern unchanged: still single SCSI
  command in flight, error-path timing identical, no new retries.

New module: src/disc/sweep_pipeline.rs (WorkItem, ProgressSnapshot,
ConsumerInputs, spawn_consumer, consumer_loop, helpers). Public API
unchanged — Disc::copy / CopyOptions / CopyResult identical.

Patch (Pass N) is NOT changed; it's bound by drive recovery time, not
the read/write serialisation.

//! Producer / consumer split for `Disc::sweep`.
//!
//! Background: the original sweep loop runs strictly serialised —
//! SCSI read → decrypt → seek + write → mapfile.record → next iter.
//! On a healthy disc the SCSI read costs ~5-12 ms per 64 KB batch and
//! the post-read work (decrypt 1-3 ms + file write + mapfile fsync
//! 5-15 ms) adds another batch's worth of latency. The drive idles
//! during the post-read work; throughput tops out at the *sum* of
//! both costs.
//!
//! This module decouples them. A consumer thread owns the
//! [`crate::io::Writer`] (the ISO file) and the
//! [`super::mapfile::Mapfile`]. The producer thread (the caller of
//! `Disc::sweep`) keeps the [`crate::sector::SectorReader`], the
//! [`super::read_error`] state machine, and decrypt — so what enters
//! the channel is already-clean cleartext bytes, matching the "disc
//! hands plaintext to its consumers" semantic that
//! [`crate::mux::DiscStream`] already follows. Producer and consumer
//! run concurrently; with a healthy disc the drive can read the next
//! batch while the previous one is being written and recorded.
//!
//! Correctness invariants preserved:
//! - Mapfile is single-writer (consumer-only). No locking.
//! - All `read_error::ReadCtx` state stays on the producer thread.
//! - `set_speed` calls happen on the producer thread (same thread that
//! owns the `SectorReader`). No new SCSI concurrency.
//! - Per-iteration ordering of file-write → mapfile-record is kept
//! intact in the consumer (write before record, same as today), so
//! the on-disk invariant "mapfile only marks Finished what the file
//! has received" survives a crash mid-pass.
//! - The BU40N+Initio bridge wedge concern is unchanged: only one
//! SCSI command in flight at a time, error-path timing identical,
//! no new retry logic.
