feat(clip): crop a clip to a frame drawn on the picture, and give the clip panel the room it needs

Browse Source 
An optional crop in clip mode: a Crop toggle puts a frame on the picture (free, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1;
the whole picture stays the default). The frame is sent in fractions of the box it was drawn in,
with that box's shape; the worker fits the real picture into the box by its display aspect (sample
aspect and rotation aware), drops the part over the bars, and crops first in the filter chain. A
frame covering the whole box is no crop at all, and one off the picture is refused by name.

The crop frame is a ui primitive (CropFrame) shared with the video editor, keyboard-operable.
YouTube: the wide side panel shuts while clipping and comes back after; maximised, the clip panel
docks in the stage. Plex: the picture sits above the clip panel so the frame lies on it.

follows the selection when it settles, never under a dragging pointer. Plex seeks once a drag is
released (a seek may restart the transcode); YouTube follows the drag. Escape closes the panel before the

further; focus ring amber) with a shape — Free, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 (the largest of it the picture holds) — and
Whole picture; off, the clip is the whole picture. Escape turns the crop off before it closes the panel. A
press outside the frame is still the video's. A cut is a toast with a Downloads link and the usual
"Ready to watch" notification. Limits are the server's: 1 s to 10 min (`lib/clipRange`).
