Fall back to the default for invalid preview limits.

If OPENSCREEN_LINUX_PREVIEW_MAX_DIM is -1, this guard returns the original rectangle. Large Linux previews can then use uncapped readback and IPC transfers during playback or scrubbing. Use the default limit when the configured value is non-finite or less than 2.

Update the OPENSCREEN_LINUX_PREVIEW_MAX_DIM parsing in the preview dimension
logic so non-finite values or values less than 2 use the default limit of 854.
Keep valid configured limits in effect and preserve the existing rectangle
handling for those limits.

Preserve the aspect ratio for thin previews.

On Linux, a 5000×2 preview becomes 854×2. The compositor then uses the changed ratio to crop image backgrounds, and the canvas stretches the result into the original box. Preserve the original geometry when proportional scaling would make either dimension smaller than two pixels.

The independent two-pixel clamps in the width and height calculations distort
thin previews. Update the sizing logic around rect.width, rect.height, and scale
so that when proportional scaling would make either dimension smaller than two
pixels, it preserves the original width and height instead of clamping each
dimension separately.
