Vance Ingalls 53e1aeaadc fix(producer): wire --crf and --video-bitrate CLI overrides into encoders (#372)
## Summary

Re-wire the `--crf` and `--video-bitrate` CLI flags through the three encoder spawn sites in `renderOrchestrator.ts`. They were defined and parsed in the CLI but silently dropped before reaching ffmpeg.

## Why

`Chunk 10` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. PR #292 originally wired these through with a `baseEncoderOpts` object using `effectiveQuality`/`effectiveBitrate`; PR #268 rewrote the encode paths and reverted to `preset.quality` only, accidentally dropping the override. This is a user-facing regression — `hyperframes render --crf 18` was being silently ignored.

## What changed

- At the three encoder spawn sites (HDR streaming, SDR streaming, disk-based encode), `quality` defaults to `preset.quality` but is overridden by `job.config.crf` when set, and `bitrate` is set from `job.config.videoBitrate`. Mutual exclusivity is enforced upstream in the CLI, so we don't re-check it here.
- Fix the contradictory note in `docs/packages/cli.mdx` that claimed CRF/bitrate were now driven only by `--quality`. The flags table now lists `--crf` and `--video-bitrate` consistent with `docs/guides/rendering.mdx`.

## Test plan

- [x] `hyperframes render --crf 18 ...` now respects the CRF override (verified via ffprobe of the encoded output).
- [x] `hyperframes render --hdr ...` still works (no behavior change at the default path).
- [x] `hyperframes render --help` shows all flags consistent with the docs.

## Stack

Chunk 10 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Independent of all other chunks.
