Pin immich-server to the GPU node with a time-sliced nvidia.com/gpu slice
so ffmpeg uses hardware NVENC encode + NVDEC decode instead of software.
This frees the ~3-4 CPU cores the software transcoder was burning inside
the request-serving pod (which was slowing thumbnail/photo browsing), and
makes incompatible (HEVC/iPhone) videos playable in seconds. Activation is
ffmpeg.accel=nvenc + accelDecode=true in the DB system-config (Immich app
config is DB-managed here, like oauth/smtp — not Terraform).
Also give immich-frame the same Keel ignore_changes immich-server already
has, so an untargeted apply no longer churns it (pre-existing drift).
