Add configurable transcode target video codec support

Browse Source 
Adds new playback options to select transcode target codec (H.264, H.265/HEVC, AV1) and force H.264 transcoding. This enables optimal codec selection for client hardware, especially useful for devices with H.265 hardware decoding like Raspberry Pi 5. Target codec and source codec filtering now work independently for maximum flexibility.
