A fresh Orin image carried a stale third-party apt source that made apt-get
update fail; with set -e that aborted the install. The packages come from the
main Ubuntu repos, so update is now best-effort and install proceeds.

The recorder was the gap: it is FTF's own customised SDK example (a 1139-line
K4A MKV writer), not a stock sample, and it lived only in one machine's build
tree. Bring its source into the repo and build it as part of install.
It writes K4A-format MKV — the format the rest of Ithaca reads — so it stays,
and gets its libk4a from the Orbbec K4A wrapper rather than Microsoft's Azure
Kinect SDK, which is set aside. build_k4a_wrapper.sh builds that wrapper;
build_sdk.sh injects the recorder into the SDK examples tree and builds it there
against the wrapper (it depends on the SDK's own cmake targets). Found by rpath
at runtime, so no LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
install.sh now builds wrapper -> SDK+recorder -> preview server, each reusing an
existing build so the Nano is untouched. If the wrapper is unavailable the
install still completes preview-only and says so.

Extract the install that was applied by hand to the Jetson Nano into a single
checkout that builds itself for whatever Jetson it lands on.
The two nodes on the rig share no JetPack — tegra210 caps at 4, tegra234 needs
5+ — so nothing binary is portable between them. The source and the procedure
are: install.sh detects the platform (L4T / JetPack / SoC), installs deps,
builds the OrbbecSDK and the preview server from source locally, and generates
a per-user config and systemd unit. The tested bridge.py ships verbatim; all
machine-specific paths live in the generated config, so it stays unmodified —
its one hardcoded path is made home-relative.
The retired GStreamer/RTSP target is dropped: the direct route encodes no video.
