fix: add seek timeout and fingerprint cache to VideoStitch thumbnails

The thumbnail extraction effect had three issues compounding on weak
hardware:

1. The onseeked promise had no timeout — if seek hangs on systems
   without hardware video decoding, the entire effect blocks
   indefinitely. Added 10-second Promise.race timeout.

2. Created video elements were never cleaned up after use, leaving
   phantom decoders running. Added cleanupVideo() that nulls handlers,
   clears src, and calls load().

3. The thumbnail cache was cleared wholesale on every run
   (thumbnailsRef.current = new Map()), making the cache check on
   the next line always miss. Replaced with fingerprint-based
   invalidation: only clips whose video data actually changed get
   re-extracted, reusing cached thumbnails for unchanged clips.
