feat(cast): carry subtitles to a Chromecast, on the relay's clock

The relay forwards the node's fragments untouched, and those begin at zero
at the seek point. The player never notices because its SourceBuffer is given
`timestampOffset = start`; a receiver has no equivalent, so the cues are
shifted by `-start` before they leave, recomputed at every restart of the
relay. Sent as they are, a subtitle would be out by the whole seek.

The document is served from the relay's own port at /subs.vtt, behind the same
token as the stream and with CORS: a receiver fetches a side-loaded track with
XHR from its own origin, and without the headers it fails as a network error
with nothing on screen to say so. The URL carries a version because a track is
cached by address — changing the cues behind a fixed URL leaves the previous
language showing.

Cues that end before the stream begins are dropped rather than clamped, so a
line from before the seek cannot appear over the first frames after it.

The relay is plain Node, so the tests start it and fetch from it rather than
reading its source.
