YoursFunny 35074bab67 perf: stop probing a media item's size before downloading it
The upload fallback asked `x_media::site::media_size` for every remote item
before downloading it. That call is a real GET (not a HEAD) on the *un-
guarded* `CLIENT` — so every fallback item cost two requests where one would
do, the response body was never consumed (the connection cannot return to
the pool), and for photos the answer was discarded outright
(`too_large && !matches!(item, Photo { .. })` still fired the request). It
bypassed `media_request`'s private-network guard as well, the one choke
point every other egress goes through.

For videos the probe was redundant twice over: `download_media_limited`
reads the declared Content-Length before any body byte and aborts with
`FetchError::TooLarge`, which the call site already turns into the item's
smaller URL (`FallbackError::MediaTooLarge` → `fallback_url`).

`media_size` is deleted (no other caller) and the download's own cap is the
only size gate. The video cap is now exactly `MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES` instead of
`MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES + 1`, so the boundary the probe drew survives byte for
byte: a file of exactly the cap is admitted (`len > max_bytes` is false),
one byte over degrades to the smaller URL.

Verified with a throwaway harness (a local HTTP server reached through
`TELOXIDE_PROXY`, the one LAN egress the guard allows): a small video, a
photo and an oversized video each cost 1 request where the probe made it 2,
and the oversized one still lands on `/fallback.mp4` without fetching it.

`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D
warnings` and `cargo test --workspace --locked` clean.
