Layer > Video Layers: frame stacks + Rasterize Video (parity 618)

Layer.video (VideoData: frame surfaces + fps + source); the layer's
displayed content is the frame at the timeline playhead, re-synced after
any edit/navigation. Commands: New Blank Video Layer, Insert Blank /
Duplicate / Delete / Restore Frame, Restore All Frames, Show Altered
Video, Rasterize (Layer > Video Layers > Rasterize and Rasterize > Video).
Timeline duration grows to fit. 4 tests; engine green, clippy clean, wasm
OK. Parity 609 -> 618 (98.9%); FLOOR 613. (File-based footage + Render
Video + Video Frames to Layers + .pcraft frame persistence are follow-ups.)
