Optimize webm videos and webp images

Re-encode all webm meme clips as VP9 at CRF 38 (audio stripped; they are
muted autoplay loops). Downscale oversized images: background.webp
3394->1920 wide q80, profile.webp 1920->512 q85 (animation preserved).

Results:
- webm: 3.2MB -> 1.37MB (-56%)
- webp: 1.2MB -> 0.70MB (-42%)
- Docker image: 23.1MB -> 18.7MB (~42% smaller than the original nginx image)

All videos verified valid/playable; profile.webp animation (5 frames)
kept intact.
