Oleksandr Bezdieniezhnykh e114bfd9b8 [AZ-614] tlog synth: anchor at t=0 to align with video time-base
The Derkachi auto-sync coordinator compares absolute tlog timestamps
(from pymavlink's 8-byte record header) against absolute video
timestamps (CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC, which starts at 0). Anchoring the
synthetic tlog at 1_700_000_000_000_000 us (2023-11-14) produced a
~53-year offset (offset_ms=1699999995666) that always tripped the
AC-9 frame-window match validator at 0% match.

Setting the base to 0 puts the tlog on the same axis as the video
(and matches the CSV's `Time` column, which is seconds since row 0
per `_docs/00_problem/input_data/flight_derkachi/README.md`: "the
video and telemetry align at exactly three video frames per
telemetry row").

Verified on Colima with GPS_DENIED_TIER=2: the offset reported by
the auto-sync coordinator drops from 1699999995666 ms to -4334 ms.
The remaining 4.3 s offset is NOT a synth issue — it's the tlog
take-off detector (no signal in the steady-cruise CSV → defaults to
samples.accel[0][0] == 0) vs the video motion-onset detector (which
fires on a scenery-contrast false positive at ~4.3 s). The synth
cannot fabricate a take-off spike at the right time without knowing
the video motion-onset moment a priori, and the README confirms the
fixture is mid-flight footage with no take-off in either signal.

Resolving the remaining 4.3 s mismatch requires SUT-side work to
honor the documented "manual offset bypasses auto-sync" contract —
that's the scope of AZ-611. Filed as a known limitation in the
commit message; AC-1..AC-6 still red until AZ-611 lands.
