poprhythm d8add24c5e Replace Translate-based centering with animation.Origin; add zoom position config
The previous "fix" for Scale's crop bias paired Scale with a computed
Translate, on the mistaken assumption that Scale's default pivot is the
top-left corner. It isn't: pixlet's docs say the default origin is
already the center (0.5, 0.5). That Translate was sized assuming Scale
had no self-centering at all, so it overcorrected, visibly skewing the
zoom toward the bottom-right -- the opposite of the bug it meant to fix.

animation.Origin does directly and correctly what that Translate was
clumsily approximating, so the Translate (and its rounding="none"
workaround) is removed entirely in favor of Origin. This also means
"strong" no longer needs the 1.45 safety cap -- restored to 1.7, since
the black-border risk was specific to the Translate formula, not Scale +
Origin (verified via the calibration tool at several off-center origins).

Added a "Zoom position" schema option: Center (default) or Random. Random
picks from a handful of preset off-center spots, chosen per-track from
subsonic_id the same way the old corner-selection logic worked, so a
still-playing track doesn't jump between spots on every refresh.

Verified: no black border, no popping (confirmed via frame-delta
analysis -- smooth throughout, no Translate means rounding is moot), and
payload well under the 460KB limit at every zoom level/position
combination, against the live station.

# Album art gets a slow "Ken Burns" breathing effect: starts and ends on
# the full frame, easing in to a zoomed-in crop at the midpoint, on a
# continuous loop -- not a one-shot reveal. A one-shot version (start
# zoomed in, end on the full frame, then hold) looked jumpy: since the app
# re-renders on NOWPLAYING_TTL
# and each fresh render restarts its own animation from tick 0, whatever the
# *previous* pushed image happened to be showing at that moment gets
# abruptly replaced by a fresh zoomed-in frame. The back-and-forth loop
# doesn't eliminate that (a server-side re-render always restarts at tick 0
# regardless), but ending exactly where it started means the animation also
# loops seamlessly on-device between refreshes.
#
# Duration is intentionally short (a handful of seconds each way), not the
# ~60s round-trip originally tried: on the real device/server, a fresh
# render replaces the still-playing animation well before a minute-long
# cycle can complete, so only the outbound half (zoom out) was ever visible
# and it never appeared to "zoom back in". A short loop guarantees at least
# one full out-and-back cycle plays before that happens.
#
# Art is rendered slightly oversized (36x36, vs. the 32x32 display slot).
# animation.Scale is only ever applied at 1.0 or above here -- empirically,
# scaling this *below* 1.0 (tried while chasing a "show the literal whole
# image at rest" design) reintroduces a real, on-device black-border bug:
# below roughly 0.9-0.95 a visible gap opens up along one edge, well before
# the math (scaled size vs. box size) would predict any gap at all, so it
# isn't a simple "runs out of image" overflow -- treat scale < 1.0 as
# unsafe regardless of the numbers. That rules out "native size at rest,
# shrink down to reveal everything" -- so instead ART_SIZE is kept just
# barely larger than ART_SLOT: at the safe floor of scale = 1.0, only
# ART_SLOT/ART_SIZE (~89%) of the image is visible, which reads as
# "fully zoomed out" (a sliver cropped off each edge, not noticeable) while
# leaving just enough headroom above 1.0 for a real zoom-in effect. The
# zoom-in amount itself (`zoom_scale`, from the ZOOM_LEVELS schema option)
# must stay >= 1.0 for the same reason.

# (a degenerate animation whose two keyframes are both Scale(1.0, 1.0),
# i.e. no visible movement). Wrapping the art in a Transformation shifts
# its crop by a few pixels versus a bare, unwrapped Image in the same
# Box -- confirmed empirically, even at an explicit Scale(1.0, 1.0) --
# so a plain-Image "off" path and a Transformation-wrapped zoom path
# don't actually agree on framing despite both nominally being "scale
# 1.0". Using the same wrapper unconditionally guarantees the "off"
# state and the rest state of every zoom level line up exactly.
#
# `origin` picks where the zoom centers on, which also gives a free
