mux: pipelined PES highway — read+decrypt → demux → parse on 3 threads

Introduces the freemkv mux throughput highway: a three-stage thread
pipeline that replaces the inline single-thread read path for any
file-backed source (ISO and m2ts file URLs both route through it).

  Thread A: read + decrypt  (PrefetchedSectorSource / BytePrefetcher)
  Thread B: M2TS demux      (DemuxThread)
  Thread C: codec parse     (PipelinedPesStream, on caller thread)

Each handoff uses a bounded crossbeam channel with a recycled buffer
pool — no allocations or memcpys in the steady-state hot loop.

Component map:

* io/byte_prefetcher.rs (new) — std::io::Read producer thread with
  recycled Vec<u8> pool. Pairs with PrefetchedSectorSource (sector
  side) so demux_thread::spawn_zero_copy can wire either upstream.
* sector/prefetched.rs — recycled buffer pool added; into_channels()
  peels off the rx/recycle_tx/shell triple for zero-copy demux.
* mux/demux_thread.rs (new) — owns the TsDemuxer/PsDemuxer, runs
  feed() on its thread, ships Vec<PesPacket> batches.
* mux/pipelined_stream.rs (new) — the read-side Stream impl. Pulls
  packets from the demux thread and runs codec parse on the caller.
* mux/resolve.rs — build_iso_pipeline (public) / build_m2ts_pipeline
  (private) assemble the three stages; iso:// and m2ts:// both
  return PipelinedPesStream.
* mux/m2ts.rs — collapsed to a write-only sink (Mode::Read deleted;
  the read direction lives on the highway now).
* mux/codec/h264.rs — find_start_code uses memchr SIMD memmem::find.
* mux/codec/hevc.rs — tightened frame_data initial capacity.
* mux/ts.rs — boundary-packet handling avoids the per-batch 16 MiB
  remainder copy; PesAssembler starts at 16 KiB to dodge the 64-page
  first-touch fault tax that the previous 256 KiB pre-alloc paid on
  every PES boundary.
* mux/disc.rs — gains DiscStream::new_pipeline + read_pipeline as
  the legacy autorip ingress (drive + multipass paths still need
  on_event / skip_errors before they migrate to the highway).
* io/file_sector_source/* — per-OS prefetch() syscall hook
  (Linux readahead, macOS F_RDADVISE, Windows/other no-op).
* decrypt.rs — FREEMKV_DECRYPT_THREADS renamed to FREEMKV_THREADS;
  pool sized to all cores by default.

Measured on rip1 testbed (Civil War UHD, 62 GiB ISO → null://):

  60 → 322 MB/s warm cache (old new_pipeline path)
  60 → 660 MB/s warm cache (highway path, this commit)
  60 → 126 MB/s sustained disk-bound

The IsoSectorReader baseline reader was deleted in favour of
FileSectorSource so the freemkv CLI and autorip exercise the same
read path.

//! `BytePrefetcher` — `std::io::Read` analogue of
//! [`crate::sector::PrefetchedSectorSource`].
//!
//! Spawns a producer thread that fills a bounded pool of `Vec<u8>`
//! chunks from the underlying reader and ships them through a
//! channel; the consumer pulls filled chunks, uses them, and sends
//! the empty `Vec<u8>` back through a recycle channel so the
//! producer can re-fill in place. Result: zero allocations and zero
//! cross-thread frees in the steady-state hot loop.
//!
//! This is the byte-stream half of the freemkv mux highway —
//! `BytePrefetcher` feeds [`crate::mux::demux_thread::DemuxThread`]
//! for `m2ts://`, `network://`, `stdio://`, and any other stream
//! whose source is an `io::Read` rather than a `SectorSource`.
