feat: FFmpeg video composition pipeline — shared infra (#643)

Shared video pipeline for Video Forge (#53) and LPM 1.0 (#641).

tools/video_pipeline.py:
- FFmpegPipeline class wrapping ffmpeg CLI
- Image sequence -> video with crossfade transitions
- Ken Burns pan/zoom effect on still images
- Audio-video muxing with beat alignment
- H.264/WebM encoding with faststart for web
- HLS streaming output
- Full compose() pipeline combining all components

tests/test_video_pipeline.py: 14 tests

Closes #643
