Stage 2 PR-A1b: tools/daedalus_decode_h264 — H.264 standalone test harness

Option A's standalone end-to-end gate against real H.264 streams.
First iteration: identity-passthrough validation — daedalus-decoder
produces output byte-exact to libavcodec's AVFrame when fed the
reconstructed pixels as `predicted`, zero coeffs, no deblock edges.

Validates: daedalus-decoder data path (append_mb + flush_frame +
NV12 output + coded-vs-display dim handling) at real-stream frame
sizes (320x240 and 1920x1088) with real H.264-decoded predicted-
sample distributions — not the random patterns the existing
test_idct_bitexact + test_deblock_smoke synthesize.

Identity-passthrough math:
  - mb_input.predicted = AVFrame pixels at MB raster position
  - mb_input.coeffs    = 384 int16's, all zero
  - mb_input.edges     = NULL, n_edges = 0
  flush_frame:
    scratch_y/_uv pre-fill from predicted (= AVFrame pixels)
    IDCT dispatches with all-zero coeffs add 0 (no-op compute)
    No deblock dispatches (no edges)
    copy-out → caller's NV12 planes
  Result MUST equal AVFrame pixels byte-for-byte.

Build
-----

New cmake option DAEDALUS_BUILD_TOOLS (default OFF).  When enabled,
pkg-checks libavcodec / libavformat / libavutil and builds the
daedalus_decode_h264 binary against the system FFmpeg.

Stock libavcodec is sufficient for THIS PR (identity passthrough
reads from AVFrame after avcodec_receive_frame; no per-MB internal
state extraction needed).  Follow-up PRs (A2+) will use the per-MB
inspection callback added in marfrit-packages patch 0016 (PR #106)
to feed REAL per-MB state (pre-residual predicted samples, residual
coeffs, deblock edges) for actual non-trivial daedalus-decoder
validation.

Usage
-----

  daedalus_decode_h264 [--substrate cpu|qpu|auto]
                       [--max-frames N]
                       <input.h264> <output_dadec.yuv> <output_ref.yuv>

Exit codes:
  0 = byte-exact match across all frames
  1 = argument / setup error
  2 = decode error from libavcodec
  3 = daedalus-decoder error (ctx, append, flush)
  4 = bit-exact comparison failed

Result on hertz (Pi 5 V3D 7.1)
------------------------------

I-only test clip via ffmpeg testsrc2 + libx264 -bf 0 -g 1:

  320x240, 5 frames:
    substrate=auto:  Y diff 0/76800   UV diff 0/38400   PASS
    substrate=cpu:   Y diff 0/76800   UV diff 0/38400   PASS
    substrate=qpu:   Y diff 0/76800   UV diff 0/38400   PASS

  1920x1088 (coded; 1080 display), 3 frames:
    substrate=auto:  Y diff 0/2088960 UV diff 0/1044480 PASS

Followups
---------

  - PR-A2: wire the per-MB inspection callback (marfrit-packages
    0016) so per-MB state — coeffs (sl->mb), predicted-before-
    residual (from prediction kernels), bS/alpha/beta — flows into
    mb_input instead of zeros, and IDCT / deblock dispatches do
    real GPU work.  At that point we're decoding real H.264 streams
    through daedalus-decoder for real.
  - PR-A3: extend to P/B frames once MC dispatch lands.

* daedalus_decode_h264 — option A standalone test harness for
* daedalus-decoder against real H.264 streams.
*
* Decodes an H.264 file via stock libavcodec (the reference), AND
* in parallel runs the same frame through daedalus-decoder in
* identity-passthrough mode (predicted = libavcodec's reconstructed
* frame, coeffs = 0, no deblock edges). Writes both outputs as
* NV12 YUV, then byte-exact diffs.
*
* PR-A1b purpose: validate the daedalus-decoder data path / API
* contract at real-stream frame sizes (16k+ MBs at 1080p, real
* H.264-decoded predicted-sample distributions), without yet
* requiring per-MB internal state extraction from libavcodec.
* Follow-up PRs (A2+) extend this harness to feed REAL per-MB
* state (residual coeffs, pre-residual predicted, deblock edges)
* via the per-MB inspection callback added in marfrit-packages
* patch 0016 (PR #106).
*
* Identity-passthrough math:
* - mb_input.predicted = AVFrame pixels at this MB's raster pos
* - mb_input.coeffs = 384 int16's, all zero
* - mb_input.edges = NULL, n_edges = 0
* Then flush_frame:
* scratch_y/_uv pre-fill from predicted_y/_uv = AVFrame pixels
* IDCT dispatches with all-zero coeffs add 0 (no-op)
* No deblock dispatches (no edges)
* copy-out to caller's planes
* Result MUST equal AVFrame pixels byte-for-byte.
*
* Invoke:
* daedalus_decode_h264 [--substrate cpu|qpu|auto]
* [--max-frames N]
* <input.h264> <output_dadec.yuv> <output_ref.yuv>
*
* Exit status:
* 0 — bit-exact match across all decoded frames
* 1 — argument / setup error
* 2 — decode error from libavcodec
* 3 — daedalus-decoder error (ctx, append, flush)
* 4 — bit-exact comparison failed (diff > 0 bytes)
