5e7d558f99 upgrade to Retina v0.3.9
This alone improves interop and diagnostics, as noted in Retina's
release notes. We also now give the camera name to the session group
(for improved logging of TEARDOWN operations) and expose the RTSP
server's "tool" attribute in debug logs and the config UI's "Test"
button.

307a3884a0 drop ffmpeg support
* switch the config interface over to use Retina and make the test
  button honor rtsp_transport = udp.

* adjust the threading model of the Retina streaming code.

  Before, it spawned a background future that read from the runtime and
  wrote to a channel. Other calls read from this channel.

  After, it does work directly from within the block_on calls (no
  channels).

  The immediate motivation was that the config interface didn't have
  another runtime handy. And passing in a current thread runtime
  deadlocked. I later learned this is a difference between
  Runtime::block_on and Handle::block_on. The former will drive IO and
  timers; the latter will not.

  But this is also more efficient to avoid so many thread hand-offs.
  Both the context switches and the extra spinning that
  tokio appears to do as mentioned here:
  https://github.com/scottlamb/retina/issues/5#issuecomment-871971550

  This may not be the final word on the threading model. Eventually
  I may not have per-stream writing threads at all. But I think it will
  be easier to look at this after getting rid of the separate
  `moonfire-nvr config` subcommand in favor of a web interface.

* in tests, read `.mp4` files via the `mp4` crate rather than ffmpeg.
  The annoying part is that this doesn't parse edit lists; oh well.

* simplify the `Opener` interface. Formerly, it'd take either a RTSP
  URL or a path to a `.mp4` file, and they'd share some code because
  they both sometimes used ffmpeg. Now, they're totally different
  libraries (`retina` vs `mp4`). Pull the latter out to a `testutil`
  module with a different interface that exposes more of the `mp4`
  stuff. Now `Opener` is just for RTSP.

* simplify the h264 module. It had a lot of logic to deal with Annex B.
  Retina doesn't use this encoding.

892427592e tweak config format (#133)
* switch from json to toml.
  I think this will be more user-friendly. It allows comments and has
  less punctuation. Fewer surprises than yaml (which has e.g. the
  "Norway problem"). I might have stayed with JSON if I could see a
  good serde json library that allows comments, but hson is unmaintained
  and serde-json strictly follows the spec.

* switch from camelCase to snake_case. Seems more idiomatic for TOML
  and matches the Rust source.

* forbid unknown keys. Better to spot errors sooner.

* rename "trust_forward_hdrs" to "trust_forward_headers". Nothing else
  is abbreviated.
