Add auto file extension and H.264/H.265/MP4 format options to Merge module

Issues fixed:
- Missing file extensions caused FFmpeg errors (user's job 234 failure)
- Limited codec options (only copy or H.265)
- Manual codec mode selector was redundant

Changes:
1. Auto file extension handling:
   - Automatically adds/corrects extension based on selected format
   - .mkv for MKV/Blu-ray formats
   - .mpg for DVD formats
   - .mp4 for MP4 formats
   - Validates and fixes extension in addMergeToQueue

2. Expanded format options:
   - MKV (Copy streams) - stream copy, no re-encoding
   - MKV (H.264) - re-encode with H.264, CRF 23
   - MKV (H.265) - re-encode with H.265, CRF 28
   - MP4 (H.264) - H.264 + AAC audio, web-optimized
   - MP4 (H.265) - H.265 + AAC audio, web-optimized
   - DVD NTSC/PAL (16:9 and 4:3)
   - Blu-ray (H.264)

3. Removed redundant codec mode selector:
   - Format dropdown now explicitly includes codec choice
   - Cleaner, more intuitive UI
   - Backward compatible with old queue jobs

Extension is auto-updated when:
- User selects a different format (updates existing path extension)
- User adds merge to queue (validates/fixes before encoding)
- Prevents errors from missing or wrong file extensions
