Wire real media probing into Filter and List panels

Extends the sixteenth delivery's container-header probing
(probe_media_files) beyond the Rename panel: Filter and List now run the
same batched probe alongside their existing local scan, using the same
override rule everywhere - a filename tag wins when present, otherwise a
real probed value fills in.

List: {width}/{height}/{fps}/{duration}/{file size} are now available in
naming-scheme-style expressions (no filename-tag equivalent exists), and a
probed {resolution}/{video codec}/{audio codec} fills in when the filename
didn't already carry that tag.

Filter: gained Resolution and Video codec chip rows (populated from the
same merged filename-tag-or-probed value, with an Unknown bucket for files
with neither) so a batch can be narrowed by either. Each result row's
subtitle now also shows the resolved resolution when one exists.

Verified via cargo check/test --workspace (unaffected, frontend-only
change) + npm run build (clean) + a 15-check Playwright script against
npm run dev covering both panels: filename-tag resolution winning over a
conflicting probed value, probed fields filling in for an otherwise-
unmatched file, the new Filter chip rows narrowing results correctly.
Updated README (status paragraph, Filter section, List section, Real
media-file probing section, roadmap item 1).
