ui(player): meaningful caps for tablet/small-desktop range + tighter footer

The 720–1240 px viewport range was a "strange zone": below 1240 the layout
is single-column, but above 720 none of the Pocket Edition rules fire, so
the vinyl stage stretched to full content width (~1100 px) and the masthead
ran to a 1000 px+ measure on a small-desktop window.

Caps now degrade in three steps:
- ≤ 720 px: vinyl 460 px / 92% width (mobile hero unchanged)
- 721–1240 px: vinyl 480 px, masthead 640 px, both centered
- ≥ 1241 px: two-column layout (no caps needed; grid does it)

Also reduce the bottom dead space:
- footer margin-top 80 → 36, inner top padding 28 → 20
- .container bottom padding 140 → 64 (desktop) / 56 (mobile)

And a small mobile-volume fix in the same range:
- .controls flex-wrap nowrap → wrap so the vu-cluster can take its own row
- vu-cluster gets flex-basis 100 % (forces own row in the wrapping flexbox)
- volume-slider drops the max-width: 200 cap so it fills the row width
- vinyl-stage on mobile bumped 320 → 460 px / 78% → 92% width
