Subject: Implement metadata stripping for uploaded videos

- Extend `strip_media` to support video files using `ffmpeg`.
- Use `ffmpeg -map_metadata -1 -c copy` to strip global metadata.
- Support formats: mp4, m4v, mov, webm, mkv, avi.
- Add `ffmpeg_path` configuration option.
- Implement robust relative path handling (`user/` heuristic) to support jailed environments.
- Enforce strict checks on startup: fail if tools (mogrify/ffmpeg) are missing when enabled.
