build: raise net.core.rmem_max on receiver installs
UDP receive buffers clamp to net.core.rmem_max, whose stock Debian default (~208 KB) is smaller than one VBV-bounded keyframe burst at moderate-to-high bitrates. The resulting packet loss damages every keyframe, drop-on-damage discards them silently, and the receiver shows a black screen with no journal errors while the sender streams happily. The install script now raises rmem_max to 4 MB and persists the sysctl; buffers are allocated lazily, so this costs no RAM at rest. Wi-Fi-only boards (Pi Zero 2 W) remain bandwidth-bound — the RUNBOOK points at --bitrate as the tuning knob.
