refactor: delete two orphans, and record why the reparent design changed

`resolveVideoSource` chose between a local file and a remote URL for video
playback. Backend-owned stream selection took that decision into Rust —
`media_local_selection` for a downloaded file, `get_stream_selection` for a
streamed one — and its last caller went with it. What remained was the function
plus sixty lines of tests exercising nothing that ships.

`fittedVideoSize` computed the rendered size of a video letterboxed into its
container. Nothing has ever called it: it arrived with the fix that made the
video fill its viewport and was superseded by `object-fit: contain` in the same
change. There is some irony in a helper that models letterboxing sitting unused
beside a container that was not letterboxing at all — the bug fixed in the
previous commit was CSS, and this function would not have helped.

A survey for exported symbols referenced only by their own tests finds 22 more.
Most are legitimate — test mocks, deliberate reset hooks, public utility APIs —
and the rest are unrelated to this work, so they are left for a cleanup that can
be reviewed on its own terms rather than smuggled into a playback branch.

Also records in the spec why DR-231's design changed. Reparenting Tauri's
webview into a GtkOverlay aborts the process on the first click: Linux calls
`attach_resize_handler` unconditionally (the Windows path guards it with
`is_decorated()`), and its handler walks webview -> GtkBox -> GtkWindow with an
unwrap that an overlay breaks. So the webview is not moved at all — mpv draws
into the default vbox's own `draw` handler via `gdk_cairo_draw_from_gl()`, and
GTK's container-before-children order puts the webview on top for free. No
reparent, one less widget, and nothing a Tauri upgrade can invalidate by
assuming its own layout.

Webview transparency via `with_transparent(true)` — no window-level transparency;
the spike showed it is neither used nor needed.
**The untested half of G1 is the reparent.** The spike built its own overlay; the
app must adopt Tauri's. Same widgets, one extra step, but it is the only place
Tauri-specific behaviour can still bite — so it is the first gate, proven before
anything is built on it.
**G1's untested half failed, and the design changed because of it.**
Reparenting Tauri's webview into a `GtkOverlay` attaches cleanly and then aborts
the process on the first click. `tauri-runtime-wry` connects a
button-press handler to the webview that walks a hard-coded path:
```rust
webview.parent() // "This one should be GtkBox"
.parent() // ...and this one the GtkWindow
.downcast::<gtk::Window>().unwrap()
```
An overlay makes that chain `webview → GtkOverlay → GtkBox`, the downcast fails,
and the panic is non-unwinding so it kills the app. Nothing in configuration
avoids it: on Linux `attach_resize_handler` is called **unconditionally** (the
Windows equivalent is guarded by `is_decorated()`), and the decoration check that
would make the handler inert runs *after* the unwrap.
**So the webview is not moved at all.** mpv draws into the *default vbox's own
`draw` handler* instead, via `gdk_cairo_draw_from_gl()` over a `GdkGLContext`
created on that widget's `GdkWindow`. GTK3 draws a container before its children,
so the webview composites on top for free — the same z-order the overlay was for,
without touching the widget tree Tauri walks.
That is strictly better than the overlay it replaces: no reparent, no extra
widget, and the arrangement cannot be broken by a Tauri upgrade that assumes its
own layout. It is also why "the surface attached successfully" is not the gate —
a click is.
Three traps from the spike, each of which cost a debugging cycle and each of
which looks like a platform limitation and is not:
