test: add comprehensive live.js coverage (66 tests)

Part of #344 — live.js coverage

Add test-live.js with 66 tests covering:
- dbPacketToLive: DB-to-live packet conversion, null handling, fallbacks
- expandToBufferEntries: observation expansion, empty/multi-packet cases
- SEG_MAP: 7-segment LCD digit mapping completeness
- VCR state machine: mode transitions, frozenNow, speed cycling, pause
- getFavoritePubkeys: localStorage merging, corrupt data, filtering
- packetInvolvesFavorite: pubKey matching, hop prefix matching
- isNodeFavorited: basic favorite lookups
- formatLiveTimestampHtml: timestamp formatting, null, future warning
- resolveHopPositions: hop resolution, ghost interpolation
- bufferPacket: VCR buffer management, cap at 2000, missed count
- 20 source-level safety checks: null guards, localStorage persistence,
  animation limits, reconnect, buffer dedup, etc.

Expose 14 additional functions on window._ for VM sandbox testing.
No new dependencies. Tests run via vm.createContext against real code.
