Render the ice as long videos and play them as wallpapers

render_wallpaper.py drives headless Firefox frame by frame (four at a time,
resuming where it stopped), then ffmpeg. Thirty seconds at 30 fps is exactly
one plasma cycle, so frame 900 meets frame 0 and the loop has no seam.

plasma-plugin/dev.emil.video is a minimal Plasma 6 video wallpaper: one file
per screen, filling the screen, looping. H.264 is encoded Baseline because
Qt here decodes through openh264, which rejects High profile and leaves a
frozen frame; a new source also has to be played explicitly.

The #shot hash learned info=0 to hide the on-screen hint for renders.
