Miguel Ángel 0c6f438ae7 fix(core): add LRU eviction to media preloader, protect untimed media
Three root-cause fixes for the lazy media preloading feature:

1. Untimed media orphaned at preload="metadata": the else branch in
   bindMediaMetadataListeners demoted ALL media elements, but the
   mediaPreloader only manages timed clips (data-start). Untimed media
   (background audio, ambient loops) got stuck at metadata forever.
   Now only timed elements are demoted.

2. Monotonic promotion with no eviction: once promoted, clips stayed
   at preload="auto" forever. Scrubbing through the full timeline
   promoted everything, bringing back the OOM crash. Added LRU eviction
   with MAX_PROMOTED=5 — when clips leave the preload window, their src
   is cleared and load() called to release buffered data per MDN. On
   re-entry, the original src is restored.

3. Metadata preload without load(): setting preload="metadata" alone
   doesn't guarantee the metadata fetch in Chrome Lite mode or Firefox
   with media.preload.default=0. Now load() is called after demotion
   to ensure el.duration is populated for timeline computation.

Also adds exact-boundary tests for LAZY_THRESHOLD=6 and eviction
coverage (evict on scrub, src restoration, MAX_PROMOTED cap, load()
called on eviction).
