HomerJau a27dca557e [Matroska] Allow Chapters Without a ChapterUID
Fix: Don't silently drop ChapterAtom elements that omit MkChapterUID

parseChapterAtom() returned chapterUid = 0 when the source file omitted
the MkChapterUID element, and the existing call sites in
MkChapters::parse() (ebmlmkchapters.cpp lines 106 and 127) use a C++17
init-if `chapter.uid()` predicate that silently dropped such chapters.
The caller saw an empty ChapterEditionList for files that mkvinfo,
MediaInfo and FFmpeg all handle gracefully — produced by some audiobook
generators and older muxers that omit the per-chapter UID. The
companion orphan-EditionEntry fix in PR #1311 / commit e07b956f doesn't
cover this case because the ChapterAtoms there ARE wrapped in an
EditionEntry, just without a ChapterUID inside each atom.

This change:
- Synthesises a process-unique ChapterUID inside parseChapterAtom() when
  the source file lacks MkChapterUID. The synthetic value sets the high
  bit (1ULL << 63) and increments via a static std::atomic counter; real
  ChapterUIDs are random 64-bit values from muxers, so collision with a
  generated one is practically impossible while keeping the distinction
  local to TagLib.
- The existing chapter.uid() filters at the call sites then always
  evaluate truthy and the chapter is exposed through the public
  ChapterEditionList API as if it were spec-compliant.

No existing behavior is changed — files that already conform to the spec
(ChapterAtoms with a ChapterUID element) parse identically; only
previously-dropped chapters are now surfaced.

Reported and verified against real-world chaptered Matroska audiobook
files where mkvinfo / MediaInfo see all chapters but TagLib 2.3 returned
an empty ChapterEditionList.
