P6: remote video and audio play through the proxy
Build / Build (push) Successful in 37s

- The media proxy streams ranged requests from the origin (passing the range on, never caching), downloads and caches
  whole files otherwise, and serves cached files with range support. A PeerTube video is never fetched whole for one
  viewer, and clients still never contact the remote host.
- PeerTube's fragmented MP4 files inside an HLS entry are read as variants, so HLS-only instances play too.
- A remote Video or Audio post becomes one playable Mastodon attachment: the best MP4 up to 720p that carries both
  sound and picture, with its poster and duration; the card is kept only when nothing is playable.
- nginx: /media/proxy/ with proxy_buffering off and a 600 s read timeout (applied on the box, with a backup).

Checked live: a GoToSocial image through the proxy answers 206 with exactly the asked range when streamed, 200 when
cached, and 206 with the right Content-Range from the cache.
