Levi Woodard 840324825b Bound live-stream latency drift with periodic live-edge resync ...

Over hours the wall drifted ~15s behind real-time: the Pi decodes a hair
slower than real-time, and since RTSP-over-TCP delivers every byte, that
small deficit buffers up instead of being dropped — and a live stream
can't be seeked back to the live edge.

Add player.resync_seconds (0 = off): the daemon reconnects each stream to
the live edge on that interval via mpv loadfile-replace over IPC, cycling
one tile at a time so only a single tile ever blips. Reusing the running
mpv process means no window teardown. At 600s this caps drift to a couple
seconds. config.example.yaml ships it at 600; README documents the knob
and the "also lighten decode load" caveat.
