Deluan Quintão 6766d60bee fix(transcoding): don't apply server-side override on getTranscodeDecision (#5473)
* fix(transcoding): don't apply server-side transcoding override on getTranscodeDecision

The getTranscodeDecision endpoint was incorrectly applying server-side
player transcoding overrides (forced format and MaxBitRate cap), which
replaced the client's declared capabilities with synthetic profiles.
This caused the endpoint to ignore what the client can actually play and
return decisions for formats the client never requested (e.g. AAC when
the client only supports FLAC/opus/mp3). The override is now gated
behind an ApplyServerOverride flag in TranscodeOptions, which is only
set by the legacy stream endpoint where this behavior is expected.

* refactor: move server-side transcoding override to ResolveRequest

Moved the server-side player transcoding override logic (forced format
and MaxBitRate cap) from MakeDecision into ResolveRequest, where the
legacy stream context is handled. This makes MakeDecision a pure
function that only operates on the ClientInfo it receives, removing the
ApplyServerOverride flag and all context-sniffing from the decision
engine. Tests moved accordingly to legacy_client_test.go.

* test(e2e): update transcode decision tests for server override removal

Updated e2e tests to reflect that getTranscodeDecision no longer applies
server-side player overrides (MaxBitRate cap and forced transcoding
profile). The player MaxBitRate tests now verify the endpoint ignores
the player cap and relies solely on client-declared capabilities.

* test(e2e): assert opus default bitrate when player cap is ignored

Added bitrate assertion to verify the player MaxBitRate cap is truly
ignored: the target bitrate should be the opus format default (128kbps),
not the player cap (320kbps).
