fix(downloads): honor the selected bitrate (videoBitRate, capital R)

Downloading at a specific quality silently returned the full-size
original. The download URL builder spelled the transcode params
`videoBitrate`/`audioBitrate`, but Jellyfin binds `videoBitRate`/
`audioBitRate` — with a capital R.

Query-key binding is case-insensitive, so this is not a casing
preference: the lowercase-r form is a different token that fails to
bind. The server discards it without error and then stream-copies the
source, so picking "480p" produced an original-quality file with no
failure surfaced anywhere. `maxHeight`/`videoCodec` were unaffected
(case-insensitive binding covers them), which is why the height cap
applied while the bitrate cap vanished.

Also set `allowVideoStreamCopy=false` on the transcode presets to force
a real re-encode. Video stream-copy is gated by `allowVideoStreamCopy`,
not `enableAutoStreamCopy` — the latter governs audio only.

`original` is unchanged: it stays a deliberate direct static copy, now
pinned by a test.

The pre-existing unit tests asserted the broken lowercase-r spellings,
so they passed against broken code; corrected. Verified red -> green by
extracting the pre-fix and post-fix builder bodies into an isolated
harness: 15 assertion failures before, 0 after.
