Subject: feat: Add --seek command line option for fast-forward debugging

This feature allows developers to jump to a specific time in the demo sequence (e.g., './demo64k --seek 10.5'). It simulates the game logic, audio state (rendering silent buffers), and visual physics (compute shaders) from t=0 up to the target time before starting real-time playback. Audio initialization is refactored to separate device init and start.
