P1 [Bug] Version pin files set to literal ToDo placeholder.

Both DALI_DEPS_VERSION and DALI_EXTRA_VERSION now contain the string ToDo instead of a commit SHA. Any CI job that reads these files to fetch the matching dali_deps / dali_extra artefacts will either fail outright or pick up an incorrect/stale revision, breaking reproducibility for the entire build. These files should be updated to the real commit SHAs before this PR merges (or the dependent PRs should land first).

P1 The new EOS guard calls NumFrames() unconditionally on every decoded frame, which can invoke ParseNumFrames() when no index is built and nb_frames is zero in the container. ParseNumFrames() reads all remaining demuxer packets to completion, so the very first frame's increment will exhaust the packet stream and cause all subsequent av_read_frame calls to return EOF — silently dropping every frame after the first. The existing guard in ReadFlushFrame has the same limitation (documented with a TODO) but that function runs only after the demuxer is already exhausted. The fix is to guard the check with HasIndex(), mirroring the SeekFrame condition added in this same PR.
