vicrodh 395e537b59 fix(build): drop compile-time x86 target-features — runtime AES dispatch
Users on CPUs without AES-NI (Nehalem i7-860, pre-2010 Intel Macs) or
without SSSE3 (AMD Phenom II) crashed at launch with SIGILL. The
global `-C target-feature=+aes,+ssse3` was kept after the #353/#343
x86-64-v3 incident on the belief that the aes crate's cpufeatures
runtime check would protect CPUs without AES-NI — but a compile-time
target feature makes cpufeatures compile its check to a constant, so
the AES-NI intrinsics ran unconditionally (credentials AES-GCM decrypt
at startup), and +ssse3 let LLVM autovectorize anywhere, breaking
Phenom II. Measured on the qbz-cmaf hot path (Ctr128BE<Aes128>
apply_keystream, 256 MB, release): 2145 MB/s compiled-in vs 2162 MB/s
runtime-dispatched, identical output — the flags bought nothing on
capable CPUs. Removed from .cargo/config.toml, all dev/build scripts
and the release/build workflows; old CPUs now get the software AES
fallback instead of a crash.

Fixes #549

# QBZ Slint — FAST dev build/run (DEBUG, *not* release).
#
# ADDITION to ./slint-dev.sh, NOT a replacement. Use this for quick, purely
# visual / layout iteration where runtime performance does NOT matter — it is
# dramatically faster to compile than the release build because:
# - debug profile (opt-level 0) → the giant Slint-generated module skips the
# heavy LLVM optimisation passes that dominate the release build,
# - the `mold` linker (much faster than the default `ld`),
# - NO debuginfo (`-C debuginfo=0`) → less to generate AND less to link,
# - the nightly PARALLEL FRONTEND (`-Z threads`) across cores.
# Debug builds live in target/debug, separate from the release target/release,
# so the two scripts don't invalidate each other's cache.
#
# DO NOT use this to judge performance — the binary is unoptimised. Always do a
# final pass with ./slint-dev.sh (release) before trusting runtime behaviour.
#
# Usage: ./scripts/slint-dev-fast.sh [extra cargo args]
# THREADS=22 ./scripts/slint-dev-fast.sh # override frontend threads
