feat(alerts): a Test alert button in the alert properties

Sits to the right of the Built-in video pill, labelled "Test alert". It enqueues one synthetic
Super Chat through the real AlertOverlayLayer, so what plays is exactly what a viewer triggers —
the custom clip when one is set, the built-in clip otherwise — and it goes through the same
output path (preview and encoder) as a live alert. Local only: nothing reaches YouTube and no
chat row is invented.
