Stream video through backend with Range request support

Previously videos were served via direct RustFS URLs, which meant:
- No HTTP Range support (browsers had to download the entire file)
- Large videos couldn't play at all
- Video player rendered broken

Now videos stream through GET /api/videos/:id/stream which:
- Proxies video data from RustFS to the browser
- Supports Range requests (HTTP 206 Partial Content) for seeking
- Sets proper headers (Accept-Ranges, Content-Range, Content-Type)
- Caches for 24 hours

Frontend changes:
- VideoPlayer: added playsInline, preload=metadata, object-contain, error state
- VideoDetail: removed duplicate inline video, now uses VideoPlayer component
- index.css: style WebKit video controls (dark panel, no border-radius)
