Subject: Fix doorbell-viewport display and ring detection

- Switch to sysfs backlight (drm backend) to avoid DRM plane reset on
  display power cycle caused by vcgencmd display_power
- Add udev rule and sysfs permissions for rpi_backlight
- Fix multi-packet WebSocket decoder (ring events were being dropped)
- Fix mpv loop/cache flags (--loop=no, bounded --demuxer-max-bytes)
- Remove hardware decode (caused SIGSEGV on RPi4 with fkms)
