Add sub stream recording with adaptive quality playback (#24009)

* add sub stream recording with adaptive quality playback

Optionally record a second, lower bitrate stream alongside the main
recording stream via a `record_sub` input role and `record.sub` config block, with its own retention windows.
Recordings rows now carry the stream type plus the media details needed to serve both streams from one manifest: video codec, audio presence, audio codec and rate, and a record-time keyframe index.

Playback resolves coverage across both streams and merges them into a single VOD sequence, falling back to a discontinuity manifest with per-clip init segments when the media signatures differ. The player exposes a quality selector, and an auto governor picks the stream from stall time, bandwidth, codec support, and the save-data hint.

* fix tests and i18n

These presets apply to the `record` output args. If [sub stream recording](/configuration/record#sub-stream-recording) is enabled, the same args are used for the `record_sub` role unless `output_args.record_sub` is set, which accepts the same presets and manual args.
