Maksim Totmin 4c34f0bedc 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 h264 parses Annex-B H.264 byte streams (as produced by libx264
// with annexb=1) and groups the raw NAL units into access units (AUs), where
// each AU corresponds to one decoded video frame. This matches the packet
// boundaries the reference driver receives from FFmpeg's demuxer.
//
// AU grouping rules:
//
// - A VCL NAL (slice: types 1-5) begins a new AU.
// - Non-VCL NALs (SPS/PPS/SEI, ...) are attached as a prefix to the AU
// that contains the next VCL NAL, so a keyframe AU naturally becomes
// SPS + PPS + IDR slice.
// - An access unit delimiter (type 9) is an explicit boundary.
package h264
// NAL unit types relevant for AU assembly.
