Add Settings > Timeline > Adjustment Clip
This pull request adds support for "Adjustment Clips" to the timeline, allowing users to add a special type of clip that applies effects to everything below it. The feature is only available when using libmlt version 7.41.0 or newer. The implementation includes UI changes to add the new generator, logic to create and insert the adjustment clip, and support for displaying it in the main window.
Adjustment Clip Feature:
- Added a menu option to insert an "Adjustment Clip" in the timeline when libmlt >= 7.41.0. (

## Pull request overview
Adds an “Adjustment Clip” generator to Shotcut’s timeline (libmlt ≥ 7.41.0), enabling a special clip type intended to apply effects to everything beneath it. This integrates into the existing generator menu/insert flow and adjusts the Properties/Filters UI behavior when such a clip is selected.
**Changes:**
- Adds a Timeline generator menu item for “Adjustment Clip” gated by `LIBMLT_VERSION_INT >= 7.41`.
- Implements creation/insertion logic for the adjustment clip using a `color` producer tagged with `kShotcutProducerProperty=adjustment`.
- Updates producer-widget loading to treat adjustment clips specially and wire them directly to the filter controller.
