Pepijn 5a6aa64570 feat(language): per-camera tagging on view-dependent styles
Adds a nullable `camera` field to the language row struct (both persistent
and event variants) so view-dependent styles like `vqa` can carry which
`observation.images.*` view they were grounded against. Without this,
multi-camera datasets ended up with multiple `(vqa, role)` rows at the
same timestamp that the resolver could not disambiguate.

- `language.py`: add `camera` to PERSISTENT_ROW_FIELDS / EVENT_ROW_FIELDS,
  to both Arrow struct types and the HF datasets feature mappings;
  introduce VIEW_DEPENDENT_STYLES = {vqa, motion, trace} plus
  `is_view_dependent_style` and `validate_camera_field` helpers (camera
  required iff style is view-dependent).
- `language_render.py`: thread an optional `camera=` kwarg through every
  resolver (`active_at`, `emitted_at`, `nth_prev`, `nth_next`) and through
  `_matching_rows` / `_select_*`, so recipes can disambiguate per-camera
  VQA with `emitted_at(t, style=vqa, role=assistant, camera=...)`.
  Without a `camera` filter, multi-row matches keep raising the existing
  ambiguity error — which is the desired behaviour on multi-camera data.
- `recipes/pi05_hirobot.yaml`: replace the single `ask_vqa` branch with
  `ask_vqa_top` and `ask_vqa_wrist` per-camera sub-recipes (each carrying
  the matching image block), keeping the original 0.20 budget and
  documenting the customization point for datasets with different cameras.
- Tests: schema test asserts the new field order; new tests cover
  `is_view_dependent_style`, `validate_camera_field` (both required and
  forbidden directions), per-camera `emitted_at` filtering, and the
  ambiguity error when two cameras emit `(vqa, assistant)` at the same
  timestamp without a `camera=` filter. RenderMessagesStep + dataset
  passthrough fixtures updated to include the new field.
- `docs/source/language_and_recipes.mdx`: document the `camera` field,
  the per-camera resolver pattern, and the canonical recipe convention.
