marfrit 5c69460722 ffmpeg-v4l2-request-fourier: restore AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY in H.264 decoder
FFmpeg 8.x dropped the H.264 decoder's low_delay code path —
AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY no longer prevents h264_select_output_frame
from running the display-order DPB output queue.  The daedalus-v4l2
daemon's `ctx->flags |= AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY` at
daemon/src/decoder.c:202 has been a silent no-op since the SONAME
61→62 jump landed in reauktion/daedalus-v4l2 PR #16; on Firefox
YouTube this re-introduced the 2-1-4-3 B-frame pair-swap that PR
#12's daemon flag was supposed to prevent.

Fix lives in libavcodec, not the daemon: restore the documented
LOW_DELAY semantics so the daemon (and any other V4L2-stateless-
style consumer) keeps the one-frame-per-send_packet decode-order
output contract it already declares.

## Patch

0006-h264-restore-low-delay.patch touches libavcodec/h264_slice.c:

- h264_select_output_frame: early-exit when LOW_DELAY is set.
  Emit the just-decoded picture as next_output_pic, mirror the
  corruption / recovery-point tracking the main path performs,
  skip delayed_pic[] / POC reorder machinery entirely.

- h264_field_start: suppress the SPS-driven
  `has_b_frames = sps->num_reorder_frames` clobber when LOW_DELAY
  is set.  Without this the per-slice bitstream_restriction_flag
  re-pickup would reintroduce a nonzero reorder buffer mid-stream
  even after the daemon set has_b_frames=0 at avcodec_open2.

## Why not daemon-side

A daemon SPS-rewrite (`num_reorder_frames=0`) was considered but
rejected: it works only for the daemon's reconstructed SPS NAL,
not for any in-band SPS the daemon dlopens libavformat to parse
in other code paths.  Restoring documented FFmpeg flag semantics
is the smaller, more durable change and keeps the daemon
interface stable.

## Packaging

- PKGREL/pkgrel bump to 9.
- No new build-deps, no Depends change.
- Substitution arc cycles 6/7/8 unchanged.

## Refs

- reauktion/daedalus-v4l2#11 / #12 (LOW_DELAY half-measure on
  daemon side, originally landed against FFmpeg 7.x).
- daemon/src/decoder.c:202 (`ctx->flags |= AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY`
  for H.264 only — unchanged, but now actually has effect again).

#
# FFmpeg + V4L2-Request hwaccel (stateless video decode on Rockchip,
# Allwinner, etc) for the Fourier umbrella. Tracks Kwiboo's long-running
# rebase of Jernej Škrabec's v4l2-request patchset onto ffmpeg release
# tags. Pins the branch tip to a known commit for reproducible CI builds;
# bump _commit when upstream picks up a fix we want.
#
# Why this fork instead of AUR ffmpeg-v4l2-request-git:
# - AUR is pinned to 6.1.1 with epoch=2, which is OLDER than Arch's
# stock 2:8.1-3 → installing it downgrades system ffmpeg.
# - AUR pulls X11/AMF/CUDA/FireWire/AviSynth/OpenMPT/Bluray — irrelevant
# for a Wayland + ARM + video-decode fleet.
# - AUR uses #branch=..., no commit pin. CI artifacts are non-reproducible.
#
# Encoders (libx264/libx265/libvpx/libdav1d) kept per Fourier fleet policy.
# X11, AMF, CUDA, FireWire, AviSynth, OpenMPT, Bluray, OpenMAX, JPEG-XL,
# Theora, XVid, rsvg, soxr, ssh, vidstab, modplug, SDL2, Vulkan, JACK, GSM,
# Speex dropped — not needed on the Fourier fleet. (No SDL2 means no
# `ffplay` binary; mpv covers interactive playback.)
