    termgfx: make the audio stream dB-native (volume_db, dB stepping)

    The shared PCM stream module still carried its channel level as an int
    0..100 percent, converting to dB only at the A;Volume call -- the last
    percent holdout after the volume-is-dB migration. Move it to a float
    volume_db (0 dB = unity); the mute sentinel moves from `volume <= 0` to `volume_db <= TERMGFX_DB_MUTE`, still stopping the uplink entirely.

    termgfx_stream_volume_step now takes a dB delta and returns dB, capped at
    unity (a pre-mixed stream gets no boost from + / -); stepping down past a near-silent floor (-36 dB) snaps to real mute so the player need not press
    all the way to the -60 dB floor.

    The two stream doors adapt: the sysop [audio] volume knob stays a friendly 0..100 percent (converted to dB at read); the + / - hotkeys step 6 dB; and SyncRetro's on-screen toast now reads dB. Behavior at the defaults is
    unchanged -- SyncSCUMM -6 dB, SyncRetro unity -- the live control simply
    steps in even dB now rather than percent.
