fix(streaming): surface why a transcode decision failed (#5820)
* fix(subsonic): surface the reason a transcode decision failed

getTranscodeDecision returned a bare "failed to make transcode decision"
with no clue why, and the probe command ran ffprobe with -v quiet, so even
the server log bottomed out at "exit status 1". A user whose files had been
moved by an external tool only saw the opaque error.

ProbeAudioStream now returns a typed ProbeError that separates the file path
from the reason: ffprobe runs with -v error so its stderr diagnostic is
captured, and a missing or unreadable file is reported as "file not found"
rather than ffprobe's misleading "Invalid data found". The handler logs the
full detail (including the path) and returns the reason to the client with
the server path stripped out.

Reported-by: Tolriq (Symfonium)

* refactor(ffmpeg): use errors.AsType for ExitError match

probeErrorReason used the older var+errors.As form while the rest of the
codebase (and its sibling transcodeFailureReason) uses the generic
errors.AsType. Switch to it for consistency; behavior is unchanged.

* fix(subsonic): return error 70 when the source file is missing

A getTranscodeDecision probe failure was always reported as generic error 0.
When the source file is gone (moved or deleted out from under the DB), that is
a not-found condition, so return the standard Subsonic error 70 ("data not
found") instead — matching what the endpoint already returns for an unknown
mediaId. Files that exist but are corrupt or unreadable stay error 0.

ProbeError now wraps the underlying cause and implements Unwrap, so the handler
detects the case with errors.Is(err, fs.ErrNotExist).

* fix(ffmpeg): keep probe error paths out of client-facing reasons

Addresses review feedback on the ProbeError type: the Reason field doubled as
both the log detail and the client message, so an ffprobe launch failure (a
*os.PathError from fork/exec) could leak the ffprobe binary path to clients,
and an unexpected stat error was reduced to "file not accessible" in the log.

Split the two concerns: Reason now holds only a path-free, client-safe string
(built at construction), while Error() logs the full underlying cause. Launch
failures return a generic "could not read file" instead of the raw exec error.
SafeReason no longer does substring path-stripping (removing the empty-Path
edge case); the stripping happens once, against ffprobe's stderr.

* fix(subsonic): don't report a broken ffprobe as a missing media file

Two issues from review of the previous commit:

Code 70 was selected with errors.Is(err, fs.ErrNotExist), but a launch failure
of a deleted ffprobe binary is an *os.PathError that also wraps fs.ErrNotExist.
A server-side ffprobe problem was therefore reported to clients as a missing
media file. ProbeError now carries an explicit NotFound flag, set only on the
file-access branch, and the handler keys the code off that instead of the chain.

ffprobe can also exit 0 while yielding no audio stream (an audio-suffixed
container holding only video). That parse failure was returned unwrapped, so
clients got "internal error"; it is now wrapped in a ProbeError too.
