Integrate community PRs: relink's params doc and menu rows, pt-BR in the language list, MCP docs, test fixes

- file.relinkFootage (#461): close the params doc so checked execution
  (MCP, control channel) rejects unknown keys; translate its menu entry.
- general.language lists Português (Brasil) (#217).
- docs/agents.md: set_property / add_keyframe take timeBase (#522).
- #299's MCP test no longer sends get_property a value.
- The Automatically Reload Footage sequence test uses PNG frames.
- h264_frames_at_reduced_sizes (#507): the bar depends on the fixture's
  encoder; 50 dB with ffmpeg 6.1's x264.
