Bundled preset manifest

One row per shipped effect document (name, engine, one-line character). Regenerate the table when the library changes; the seeding module (src/effects/seed.rs) compiles every row into the vj binary.

Every document here carries its own shader. The family's look function is written out inline in the file, so a preset is a complete forkable unit an author can rewrite into a new look rather than only re-tune (see CONTRACT.md, "a document carries its own shader"). The ten screen presets are the exception: that family has no scene pass, its look IS the stage list — 113_scan_sermon shows what a screen document with its own fullscreen shader looks like.
