feat(pipeline): per-clip-pair morph manifest + member-pair baking (154 clips)

Tasks 1-2 of the altitude clip-pair morph plan. Manifest emits a morph
entry for every video pair in adjacent altitudes, both directions
(<src>__<dst>.mp4 zoom-in + .rev zoom-out); generate_media() bakes them
all via the existing xfade=zoomin recipe keyed by clip member.
