fix(share): declare og:image dimensions so the FB card includes the image on first scrape

The FB Sharing Debugger confirmed the real cause of the missing desktop-Messenger preview: the
scraper fetches og:image ASYNCHRONOUSLY on a URL's first scrape ("The provided 'og:image'
properties are not yet available… specify the dimensions using 'og:image:width'/'og:image:height'"),
so a freshly shared /watch link unfurled title-only. Read the poster JPEG's real dimensions from its
SOF marker (Pillow isn't a dep; the poster aspect differs from the video's, so the stored video
width/height won't do) and emit og:image:width/height. Only runs on a crawler hit. Unit-tested.
