encode_thread_loop hardcoded sws_us=0 and output_bytes=0, making the
stats dashboard show zeros for those columns. The previous encode_us
was measured around the entire encode_cpu_frame call, mixing sws +
encode work into one bucket.
Add SwEncodeTiming { sws_us, encode_us, output_bytes } to SwEncEncode.
- drain_encoder returns Result<usize> (total encoded bytes), accumulated
before the Muxer/Channel match so branch duplication and multi-packet
drain are both handled correctly. output_bytes = bytes produced by
libavcodec even if downstream delivery drops them.
- encode_cpu_frame resets last_timing to Default at entry (so early
returns from disconnect/pause/dedup never report stale prior values),
measures sws_us around sws_scale, measures encode_us around
avcodec_send_frame + drain, then stores the complete snapshot.
- take_timing() uses mem::take to return and clear in one step.
- flush() ignores the byte count from drain_encoder.
- state_portal encode_thread_loop calls take_timing() for real values.
