Moves both the xx-build toolchain stage and the final runtime image from Alpine 3.20 (past end of active support) to 3.22. 3.22 is the last release where ffmpeg is still 6.1.x — it jumps to 8.0 in 3.23 — so transcoding behavior is unchanged by this bump. Alpine 3.21 repackaged mesa, and from that release on `mpv` requires so:libEGL.so.1 and so:libgbm.so.1. Those pull mesa -> llvm20-libs (156MB) plus the gallium drivers (62MB), which took the image from 231MB/62MB compressed to 578MB/147MB. mesa-egl is the only provider of libEGL.so.1, and newer Alpine releases do not improve on this. Navidrome runs mpv headless for jukebox audio and never enters a video path, so this replaces libEGL/libgbm with generated no-op stubs and drops the mesa/LLVM stack. The stub symbol list is read from real mesa at build time and cross-compiled with the existing xx toolchain, so it adapts per architecture rather than being hardcoded. Verified with logging stubs across mp3/flac/ogg/opus/m4a/wav driving the default MPVCmdTemplate (pause, volume, time-pos seek, quit): zero calls into the stubbed libraries. The final stage now also runs mpv once at build time, so a broken stub fails the build instead of shipping. Image size: 323MB -> 325MB (84MB -> 86MB compressed).
