Label scanner: native BarcodeDetector + keep stream alive between opens

- Use BarcodeDetector API (Chrome/Edge/Android) as primary QR scanner; it uses
  native OS-level decoding which is far more reliable than jsQR for Prismatic's
  QR codes. Falls back to jsQR (attemptBoth) on Safari/Firefox.
- Keep MediaStream alive between modal opens so the browser does not re-prompt
  for camera permission on each scan within the same page session. Stream is
  released after 2 min of idle (IDLE_RELEASE_MS) or on page unload.
- stopCamera() split into stopQrLoop() (cancel rAF only) and releaseCamera()
  (stop tracks + null srcObject); modal hide now calls stopQrLoop, not releaseCamera.

* In-browser powder label scanner for the Inventory Create/Edit forms.
*
* Flow:
* 1. User clicks "Scan Label" → modal opens, rear camera starts.
* 2. jsQR runs in a requestAnimationFrame loop scanning the live video.
* 1. User clicks "Scan Label" → modal opens, rear camera starts (permission asked once
* per page load — stream is kept alive between modal opens to avoid re-prompting).
* 2. QR scanning uses the native BarcodeDetector API when available (Chrome/Edge/Android),
* falling back to jsQR for other browsers.
* - QR detected automatically → POST qrUrl to /Inventory/ScanLabel → fill form.
* 3. If no QR within ~5 s the "Scan Text" button appears as a fallback.
* - User taps it → grab current frame → base64 → POST to /Inventory/ScanLabel → fill form.
* 4. Either path: server searches catalog, auto-contributes if new, returns unified data.
* 5. Modal closes, form fills using the same field IDs as inventory-catalog-lookup.js.
*
* Camera permission strategy:
* - getUserMedia is called only once per page session (on first open).
* - The stream is kept alive when the modal closes so subsequent opens are instant
* and the browser does not re-prompt for camera access.
* - An idle timer (IDLE_RELEASE_MS) stops the stream after prolonged inactivity so
* the camera indicator light doesn't stay on indefinitely.
* - The stream is always released on page unload.
