Francesco Durighetto 7789260a83 Add optional idle heartbeat for Birdseye (periodic frame emission when idle)

birdseye: add optional idle heartbeat and FFmpeg tuning envs (default off)

This adds an optional configuration field `birdseye.idle_heartbeat_fps` to
enable a lightweight idle heartbeat mechanism in Birdseye. When set to a value
greater than 0, Birdseye periodically re-sends the last composed frame during
idle periods (no motion or active updates).

This helps downstream consumers such as go2rtc, Alexa, or Scrypted to attach
faster and maintain a low-latency RTSP stream when the system is idle.

Key details:
- Config-based (`birdseye.idle_heartbeat_fps`), default `0` (disabled).
- Uses existing Birdseye rendering pipeline; minimal performance impact.
- Does not alter behavior when unset.

Documentation: added tip section in docs/configuration/restream.md.
