camera: mirror preview only, not capture (telegram fidelity)

Drop isVideoMirrored on the AVCaptureVideoDataOutput connection — the
data output feeds both the preview texture AND the recorder, so any
mirror set there ended up baked into the recorded MP4. Recorded video
+ captured JPEG now carry the raw sensor feed ("as others see you"),
matching telegram-iOS and the stock iOS Camera app default.

The selfie preview is mirrored inside UxCameraPreview itself
(Transform.flip(flipX: true) around the Texture when
description.lens == front) — the analog of telegram's
CameraPreviewView.mirroring CALayer transform. Consumers
(CameraThumb, etc.) don't need to know which lens is active.
