Add glossary, case scenarios, and GUI-based transcoding tools

Checklist

• I've referred to the Guidelines for contributing

This pull request adds a structured glossary of core FFmpeg and digital preservation terms, embeds glossary links throughout ffmprovisr, and introduces several real-world case scenarios illustrating common FFmpeg uses.

Changes include:

• A new glossary with definitions, context, and references
• Embedded glossary links across existing recipes
• Case scenarios broken into context, solution, and outcome
• Documentation for GUI-based tools (Shutter Encoder, XLD, and HandBrake) to support users with limited command-line experience

This work was informed by interviews with moving image preservation professionals and aims to lower barriers to entry for students and small institutions.

Hello! This looks really good, but is there any chance that you could tidy it up into discrete commits for easier reviewing? e.g. one commit per new recipe/entry/change

Edit: recommend something like this:

# Make sure you have the latest gh-pages branch (prob the case already, just being thorough here)
git fetch --all

# Remove your commits but keep your changes in your working directory
git reset --mixed amiaopensource:gh-pages

# Use the patch commit to add each recipe/change in a separate commit
git add . --patch   # NB: this can be abbreviated to git add . -p
gcmsg "Add glossary of technical terms"
# and so on...

+1! This is great but it would make it easier to review and merge if it was broken up a bit.
