Initial commit: Go driver for the Lian Li Galahad II LCD

Streams H.264 to the Galahad II LCD via USB (gousb) with:
- ffmpeg CLI transcoding (no fragile FFmpeg C-ABI bindings)
- pure-Go Annex-B access-unit splitting
- framerate pacing with graceful shutdown and USB reconnect
- TOML config, cobra CLI, structured slog logging, unit tests

// Package transcoder converts a source video or GIF into a raw Annex-B
