feat: compress MP4 videos at Docker build time via FFmpeg

Hugo has no video processing, so FFmpeg runs in the builder stage
before hugo builds, compressing every content/**/*.mp4 in-place.

scripts/compress-videos.sh:
  - H.264 CRF 28 + preset slow (good web compression)
  - faststart for progressive streaming
  - AAC 64k audio
  - Only replaces source if output is actually smaller, so
    already-lean videos are skipped

Dockerfile:
  - apk adds ffmpeg alongside hugo in the builder stage
  - RUN compress-videos.sh runs after COPY . . before pnpm build
    (compressed files land in public/ via Hugo's copy of page bundles)

+# Usage: sh scripts/compress-videos.sh [content-dir]
+#
+# Encoding choices:
+#   H.264 CRF 28  — good web quality, ~60-80% smaller than camera/AI originals
+#   preset slow   — best compression for a given CRF (fine in CI/Docker)
+#   faststart     — moov atom moved to front for progressive streaming
+#   aac 64k       — low-bitrate audio (videos are muted in-player by default)
+#
+# The script replaces each source file in-place only when the compressed
+# output is actually smaller, so already-lean videos are left untouched.
