feat(widevine): auto-seed CDM hint file for persistent contexts (Linux)

Sideloaded Widevine works on the first launch of a persistent context
instead of needing a manual two-launch hint-file workaround. The wrapper
writes Chromium's CDM hint file into the profile before launch when a
WidevineCdm directory is present next to the binary.

- New cloakbrowser/widevine.py and js/src/widevine.ts: resolve a sideloaded
  CDM (CLOAKBROWSER_WIDEVINE_CDM env var, else next to the binary) and seed
  the hint file. Linux only; no-op elsewhere. CLOAKBROWSER_WIDEVINE=0 disables.
- Never bundles/downloads/copies the CDM (proprietary); seeds only when the
  user-provided CDM is already present.
- Wired into launch_persistent_context[_async] and launchPersistentContext.
- README + js/README: Widevine / DRM section, env vars, FPJS tradeoff note.
- Tests: tests/test_widevine.py, js/tests/widevine.test.ts, persistent-context
  integration assertions.

### Widevine / DRM
The binary is built with Widevine support, but the Widevine CDM is a proprietary Google component we can't redistribute. Sideload it once by copying a `WidevineCdm/` directory from a real Chrome install next to the binary (full steps in [#96](https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser/issues/96)):
```bash
cp -r /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm ~/.cloakbrowser/chromium-<version>/WidevineCdm
```
With the CDM in place, `launch_persistent_context()` enables Widevine **on the first launch** — the wrapper auto-writes the CDM hint file into the profile, so you don't need the manual two-launch workaround. This lets you play DRM-protected video (e.g. Netflix, Spotify Web) and makes a persistent profile present as a regular Chrome install to detection services that probe for DRM/EME support as a real-browser signal.
```python
from cloakbrowser import launch_persistent_context
# WidevineCdm sideloaded next to the binary -> Widevine works on first launch
ctx = launch_persistent_context("./my-profile", headless=False)
```
- **Linux only.** Chromium's hint-file mechanism is Linux/ChromeOS-specific. On Windows the CDM can't initialise (DRM host verification) and macOS uses a different layout, so seeding is a no-op there.
- **Auto by presence.** No flag needed — a sideloaded CDM is the opt-in. Point at a CDM in a non-default location with `CLOAKBROWSER_WIDEVINE_CDM=/path/to/WidevineCdm`, or disable seeding entirely with `CLOAKBROWSER_WIDEVINE=0`.

"""Widevine CDM hint-file seeding for persistent contexts.
CloakBrowser's binary is built with Widevine support but ships no CDM (the CDM
is a proprietary Google binary we can't redistribute). Users sideload it by
copying a ``WidevineCdm/`` directory from a real Chrome install next to the
binary (see issue #96).
Chromium discovers a sideloaded CDM in two phases: an early-startup pass that
reads a "hint file" from the user-data-dir, and a later async component-updater
pass that writes that hint file. On a fresh profile the hint file doesn't exist
on the first launch, and Playwright passes ``--disable-component-update``, so the
updater never writes it Widevine only works after a manual two-launch dance.
This module pre-seeds the hint file before launch so a sideloaded CDM works on
the very first launch. It never bundles, downloads, or copies the CDM itself
it only writes the hint when a CDM the user provided is already present.
Linux only: Chromium's hint-file mechanism is Linux/ChromeOS-specific. On Windows
the CDM can't initialise (DRM host verification), and macOS uses a different CDM
layout, so seeding is a no-op there.
