fix(node): a video the browser cannot decode is re-encoded, not refused

Streaming an Xvid/MP3 .avi answered "Unsupported video codec" — a refusal, on
a file ffmpeg re-encodes at about six times playback speed on the machine that
reported it. Nothing about the source was wrong. The node simply never reached
its own re-encode path.

`probe_video` maps a source codec to an MSE codec string and knows four:
h264, hevc, vp9, av1. Everything else returns None, because there is no
MediaSource decoder in any mainstream browser to give a string to — MPEG-4
Part 2 (Xvid, DivX), MPEG-2, VC-1, WMV, Theora. `_stream_video_inner` read
that None as a verdict on the file and refused, while the re-encode sitting
twenty lines below it was gated on `raw_video_codec in
BROWSER_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_CODECS` — a set containing "hevc" and nothing else.
So the whole ffmpeg fallback existed, worked, and was unreachable for every
codec that most needed it.

The setting that governs the fallback has documented the intended behaviour
since it was introduced: draft-v6 §2.11 says `transcode_incompatible_video`
covers "HEVC *and other browser-incompatible video codecs*". Only HEVC was
ever wired up.

Two questions were being answered by one value, and they are separated now.
"Is there a video stream at all" is the only thing this path genuinely cannot
serve, and the only refusal left. "Can it be copied" needs both an MSE string
to put in `stream_init` and a codec browsers decode; a source failing either
is re-encoded.

The operator's opt-out keeps meaning what it says, and it no longer means the
same thing for every source, because it cannot: HEVC has a codec string, so
`transcode_incompatible_video = false` falls back to a copy and the viewer's
own decoder decides (unchanged). MPEG-4 Part 2 has none, so there is nothing
to fall back to — a `stream_init` with no codec string is one the client
refuses before the first byte — and the stream is refused naming the setting.
"Unsupported video codec" is what sent this report to the file, and the file
was fine.

Verified against the reported file end to end: ffprobe reports mpeg4/mp3
720x404, the decision comes out `can_copy=False`, and the pipeline's exact
argv produces H264 High level 4.1 plus stereo AAC-LC — matching the
`avc1.640029,mp4a.40.2` that `stream_init` advertises and that the client puts
through MediaSource.isTypeSupported byte for byte.

test_stream_hevc_transcode.py becomes test_stream_video_transcode.py: it was
always about the policy rather than about one codec, and it now carries both
halves of it, with a synthetic Xvid/MP3 .avi built the same way as the HEVC
clip. Its module-level skip on libx265 went with it — an ffmpeg without x265
still encodes MPEG-4 Part 2, so that marker was skipping the reported defect
entirely on any box without it; it now gates the HEVC cases alone. Three
cases added, checked against the unfixed source. Hub and node suites 2269
passed, 4 skipped.
