claude-noether 8fdef27a7d Phase 8c: H.264 luma qpel mc20 through public API
Extends daedalus-fourier with daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_qpel_mc20
so libavcodec.so can route H264QpelContext.put_h264_qpel_pixels_tab[1][2]
through the recipe layer instead of ff_put_h264_qpel8_mc20_neon directly.

API additions (header + library):
  - daedalus_h264_qpel_meta { dst_off, src_off }
  - daedalus_dispatch_h264_qpel_mc20(ctx, sub, dst, src, stride,
                                     n_blocks, meta)
  - daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_qpel_mc20(...)  (AUTO wrapper)
  - DAEDALUS_KERNEL_H264_QPEL_MC20 = 9 in the recipe-query enum
  - daedalus_recipe_substrate_for() returns CPU NEON for cycle 9

The 6-tap horizontal half-pel filter signature matches FFmpeg's
H264QpelContext convention exactly: dst and src share a single stride
and src already points at output column 0 (filter reads cols -2..+3).
Single-stride API to make the marfrit-packages FFmpeg shim a
straight pointer-pass; no buffer rearrangement.

Verdict per docs/k9_h264qpel_mc20.md: CPU NEON.  Per-block 7.6 ns
gives 135x margin over 30 fps 1080p; QPU dispatch floor at ~250 ns
makes any V3D shader strictly worse.  Recipe table reflects that —
the recipe_dispatch entry is a one-line forward to the CPU path.

CMakeLists changes:
  - h264qpel_neon.S added to the daedalus_core static lib (only the
    bench targets owned it before; now the public API needs it too)
  - tests/h264_qpel8_mc20_ref.c added to the test_api_h264 target

Phase 8a/8b smoke gains a 4th case (test_qpel_mc20): 1024/1024
bytes bit-exact via daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_qpel_mc20.
