feat(engine): replace vague error strings with structured get_engine_status diagnostics

Add a single Rust command returning per-engine structured status with
resolved path, version, error context, stderr tail, and remediation hints.

- Aria2: binary check, daemon startup error, RPC readiness, live stderr capture
- yt-dlp: binary check, onedir layout validation (_internal/Python.framework)
- FFmpeg / Deno: binary check, version parse
- UI: Ready/Error badge + expandable technical detail panel
- Old test_* commands kept for backward compatibility
