roiizchakandroi32 3b8de7a5eb fix(engine): accept libx264 preset names with NVENC and QSV (#442)
NVENC rejects the libx264 preset vocabulary (ultrafast / medium / slow /
...) with AVERROR(EINVAL) ("Error applying encoder options: Invalid
argument"), which surfaces as a bare `FFmpeg exited with code -22` from
spawn(). Because ENCODER_PRESETS passes these names straight through to
h264_nvenc / hevc_nvenc, every `--gpu` render using the `draft` tier
failed; `standard` (medium) and `high` (slow) only worked coincidentally
on ffmpeg builds that happened to accept those aliases. QSV has the same
problem on a narrower set (ultrafast / superfast / placebo).

Add `mapPresetForGpuEncoder` in utils/gpuEncoder.ts that translates the
libx264 vocabulary to each encoder's native names:

- nvenc: libx264 -> p1..p7 (already-native pN values pass through);
  unknown values fall back to p4 (medium)
- qsv:   ultrafast / superfast -> veryfast; placebo -> veryslow;
  everything else passes through
- videotoolbox / vaapi / null: unchanged

Both buildEncoderArgs (chunkEncoder.ts) and buildStreamingArgs
(streamingEncoder.ts) now route through the helper before pushing
`-preset` to the ffmpeg arg vector.

To make the next encoder-options failure diagnosable without re-running
ffmpeg by hand, \`formatFfmpegError\` in utils/runFfmpeg.ts now appends
the last 15 non-empty stderr lines to the error string. The four call
sites that previously swallowed stderr (encodeFramesFromDir,
muxVideoWithAudio, applyFaststart, and the streaming encoder exit
handler) have been updated.

Tested end-to-end on an RTX 4080 with ffmpeg 8.1 NVENC across
\`--quality draft|standard|high\` plus \`--video-bitrate\` and \`--crf\`
overrides; the 6 renders were visually equivalent to the CPU baseline.
