⚡ Optimize O(N^2) vector erase loop in ISO Demuxer chunk validation

[segin]

💡 What: Replaced a naive loop that conditionally calls std::vector::erase with the O(N) erase-remove idiom using std::remove_if in ErrorRecovery.cpp. To maintain exact functionality, a counter based on container size differences accurately duplicates the existing LogError invocations.

🎯 Why: std::vector::erase inside a loop requires shifting all subsequent elements down by 1 position per erasure, resulting in an O(N^2) time complexity. For large sample tables, this validation could become a significant CPU bottleneck. The new approach uses a single O(N) pass.

📊 Measured Improvement:
A dedicated benchmark isolating the sample chunk operations confirmed the massive impact for larger inputs:

N = 1000 items (50% valid)

• Baseline (Erase): 51 µs
• Optimized (Remove_If): 1 µs
  (~50x speedup)

N = 10,000 items (50% valid)

• Baseline (Erase): 8,344 µs
• Optimized (Remove_If): 10 µs
  (~834x speedup)

N = 50,000 items (50% valid)

• Baseline (Erase): 215,824 µs (~215 ms)
• Optimized (Remove_If): 50 µs
  (~4,316x speedup)

Pull request overview

This PR aims to improve ISO demuxer sample-to-chunk table validation performance by replacing repeated std::vector::erase calls with the erase-remove idiom. It also adds a new zsh helper script intended to download (and eventually build) cross-compiled third-party dependencies.

Changes:

• Optimize removal of invalid SampleToChunkEntry rows using std::remove_if + erase in ErrorRecovery.cpp.
• Preserve per-entry LogError behavior by logging based on the number of removed entries.
• Add util/build-deps.sh to fetch dependency distfiles and verify checksums.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the RepairSampleToChunkTable function in src/demuxer/iso/ErrorRecovery.cpp to use std::remove_if for more efficient removal of invalid sampleToChunkEntries. The change improves the efficiency of removing entries, but a review comment points out that the new logging approach, which still calls LogError for each removed item, could introduce significant performance overhead for large datasets, potentially negating the gains from std::remove_if. A suggestion is provided to log a single summary message instead of individual entries.

[gemini-code-assist]

While this loop accurately duplicates the original logging behavior as noted in the PR description, calling LogError $N$ times introduces a significant $O(N)$ overhead due to the std::map lookup and string handling inside LogError. For large datasets (e.g., the $N=50,000$ case mentioned in the benchmarks), this overhead will likely dominate the execution time, negating much of the performance gain achieved by the std::remove_if optimization. Unless individual log entries are strictly required for each removed item, consider logging a single summary message and updating the statistics in bulk.

    if (removedCount > 0) {
        LogError("ChunkTableRepair", "Removed " + std::to_string(removedCount) + " invalid sample-to-chunk entries");
        if (removedCount > 1) {
            errorStats["ChunkTableRepair"] += static_cast<int>(removedCount - 1);
        }
    }
