Phase 2: Present-hook video path (shared-texture mirror)

Add an injected IDXGISwapChain::Present / Present1 hook as a lower-latency,
border-free alternative to WGC. The hook copies the swapchain backbuffer into a
shared keyed-mutex texture (coop_video_<pid>); the host opens it by name and
samples it. New opt-in HookSubsys_Video (protocol v6 -> v7); the Video mirror
panel gains a WGC vs Hooked source toggle that installs/removes the subsystem.

Verified by present_hook_test (drives a real D3D11 swapchain end-to-end and reads
the rendered pixels back through the shared texture) and against Phantom Brave
(D3D9: hook installs cleanly and stays idle, WGC fallback). All 5 tests pass.

+// In-process self-test for the Present-hook video path (hook/src/present_hook.cpp).
+// This process plays both "game" and "host": it installs the Present hook, then
+// creates its own D3D11 swapchain, clears the backbuffer to a known color, and
+// calls Present -- exactly as a game would. With the hook live, that Present must
+// (1) fire the detour, (2) copy the backbuffer into the shared keyed-mutex
+// texture, and (3) publish the descriptor to the IPC video channel. A second
+// device then opens the shared texture by name and reads it back, proving the
+// CreateSharedHandle / OpenSharedResourceByName / keyed-mutex / CopyResource
+// contract both the hook and the host rely on -- with no game and no Steam.
+//
+// Requires a D3D11 device; on a headless / no-GPU machine it reports SKIP and
+// exits 0 (mirrors audio_hook_test).
