api: h.264 video stream (#876)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists fixes #875 ## Description of change Adds `-apistream`, an optional HTTP video stream of the mirrored screen. It listens on the API port +2. Two endpoints, sharing the same `screen`, `fps` and `q` parameters: /stream.mjpg JPEG frames, for clients with no container support /stream.h264 H.264 annex-b, for an app driving MediaCodec or VideoToolbox itself One encoder per connection, fed by a per-screen pump that always hands over the newest frame, so a slow reader drops frames instead of building a backlog. `capture.get_jpg` behaviour is unchanged.
