feat(web): crossfade between tracks (Tier C11)
Operator-tunable 0-12s crossfade in Settings → Playback. Default 0
(off). Most albums sound best at 0 — gapless masters, classical, and
live recordings all suffer noticeable crossfades.

Implementation: pure-function position-derived volume scalar.
`deriveFadeScalar(position, duration, crossfadeSec)` ramps from 0 to
1 over the leading X seconds, 1 to 0 over the trailing X seconds,
and stays at 1 in between. Tracks shorter than 2X don't fade.

The layout's audio-volume effect now multiplies player.volume by
the fade scalar — no timers, no AudioContext, no element swapping.
Re-renders at the ~4Hz `timeupdate` cadence give 16 discrete steps
over a 4s fade, audibly close to smooth. Smoothing to per-frame
ramps via rAF is a follow-up if needed.

Setting persists to localStorage as `minstrel.crossfade` (matches
the existing volume-storage convention).

Tests cover the pure derivation (off, too-short track, fade-in,
fade-out) + clamp/persist on setCrossfade + invalid-input recovery
on readStoredCrossfade.
