Add a host-side cap on the streamed video resolution. Client requests exceeding the cap are downscaled preserving aspect ratio, with even dimensions. The cap is applied both to the RTSP viewport (encode size) and to the launch session (so display device configuration switches the host display to the actual streamed size rather than the uncapped request).
The option was registered in the config options map but had no input markup in the tab component, so it never appeared in the web UI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KPZiLfh6KcTYcUtnydjZfC

Description
New config option (max_stream_resolution = 2560x1440): client resolution requests exceeding the cap are downscaled preserving aspect ratio (even-aligned). Applied both to the RTSP viewport (encode size) and the launch session, so display-device configuration switches the host display to the actual streamed size.
Encoder latency scales with pixel count. Moonlight's resolution setting is global across hosts, so a single slow-encoder host forces a fleet-wide compromise; this makes the tradeoff per-host instead. Measured example: a host whose 4K HEVC encode adds ~120ms of processing latency drops to ~35ms capped at 1440p, with the client settings untouched.
Includes web UI (Audio/Video -> "Maximum Stream Resolution"), docs, and locale entries; config consistency tests pass.
