Raise Cast Streaming mirroring to 1080p, retune bitrate range to match

User is moving to a faster (150 Mbps) network and wants 1080p. Raised
build_video_pipeline_for_streaming and VideoParams::default() together
(they must agree -- see caststream.rs's doc comment on why a resolution
mismatch there is a protocol violation, not just soft video).

Left build_video_pipeline (the HLS/DLNA path) at 720p -- that one's
1280x720 choice is about an older Default Media Receiver's decoder
profile/level, unrelated to what's changing here.

Bitrate ceiling raised from 4-8x scaling but deliberately not straight
back up to the old 8 Mbps: real testing tonight showed the AIMD probe
pins to whatever MAX_BITRATE_KBPS is for the entire session once
estimated_bandwidth_bps() reports (unreliably -- flat ~20 Mbps most of
a session that was visibly stuttering) that there's headroom, and 8
Mbps sustained was more than the previous network+receiver could hold.
6 Mbps is a solid target for 1080p30 on its own merits. MIN_BITRATE_KBPS
bumped 1000->1500 to match (1080p needs more of a floor than 720p did
before it's a wall of blocking artifacts).
