Isaac ConnorandClaude Opus 5 b0645ae512 feat: remove the Libvlc capture method from the daemons and build
Ffmpeg reaches the same network cameras libvlc did, so carrying a second
streaming library -- with its own threading, its own bugs and its own
build dependency -- buys nothing. The preceding migration moves existing
monitors to Ffmpeg first, so Monitor::Load cannot meet a type it no
longer recognises, which is Fatal and would stop zmc rather than skip
the monitor.

Drops LibvlcCamera, the LIBVLC camera type and its parse and
construction arms, LIBVLC_SRC and Camera::IsLibvlc, the ZM_NO_LIBVLC
option and the libvlc probe, and the HAVE_LIBVLC and HAVE_VLC_VLC_H
defines. Since the camera resolved libvlc through dlopen rather than
linking it, this removes a headers-only build dependency and a runtime
one, and nothing else needed relinking.

kOptionSeparators stays -- the Ffmpeg path still parses the Options
field with it -- but it is no longer a contract shared between two
readers, so its comment and the test that pins its behaviour are
reworded rather than removed.

Built clean from a fresh cmake configure, which no longer lists libVLC
among optional libraries; unit suite passes (147 cases, 12531
assertions); no libvlc strings remain in zmc.
