Pepijn 1bd53cc7da fix(annotate): decode keyframes via ffmpeg CLI fallback
PyAV segfaulted (exit 139) decoding the AV1 streams modern LeRobot
datasets use — a SIGSEGV that the per-episode try/except cannot catch,
killing the whole job when the interjections phase started.

Replace the PyAV fallback with _decode_frames_ffmpeg, which shells out
to the ffmpeg CLI: a full ffmpeg build decodes AV1, and a child-process
crash is a catchable non-zero exit rather than a segfault. Decoder chain
is now torchcodec -> ffmpeg. _decode_frames_av stays available behind
video_backend="pyav" for callers that want it.

"""Unit tests for :class:`VideoFrameProvider` method bindings.
These were prompted by a real regression: ``video_for_episode`` was once
indented one level too deep so it ended up nested *inside* a module-level
helper (after that function's ``return`` statement) — silently dead code
that meant production runs with ``use_video_url=False`` would
``AttributeError`` on ``self.frame_provider.video_for_episode(...)``. The
existing module tests didn't catch it because they exercise stub providers.
The tests below assert on the class itself (not on an instance), so a
future reindent regression flips them to red without needing a real
LeRobot dataset on disk.
