fix: KC color strip test preview — use LiveStreamManager instead of raw engine

BetterCam (DXGI) only supports one capture session per display, so creating
a second engine for the KC test produced no frames when a target was already
running. Now uses LiveStreamManager.acquire() which ref-counts and reuses
the running capture.

Also removed double postprocessing — ProcessedLiveStream already applies
filters, so re-applying them in the KC test halved the resolution (960x400
→ 240x100).
