feat(library): detección de intro/créditos post-scan (skip segments)

Tras cada scan, localiza la intro (OP) y los créditos (ED) comparando
fingerprints chromaprint entre episodios de la misma temporada —
reimplementación limpia del enfoque de Intro Skipper: índice invertido
de uint32, alineamiento por shifts, Hamming ≤6/32, región contigua más
larga (15-120s intro / 15-450s créditos). Películas: inicio de créditos
por rachas de blackframe (solo keyframes, -skip_frame nokey) que llegan
al final del fichero.

- fpcalc se auto-descarga de las releases estáticas de acoustid
  (linux/macos/windows, ~2MB) con el mismo patrón que ffmpeg/ffprobe.
- Resultados cacheados como sidecar .skipseg.json (mtime + versión de
  algoritmo); solo los ficheros nuevos trabajan.
- Submit a /api/internal/agent/skip-segments DESPUÉS del library-sync,
  en dos fases (episodios primero, películas después) para que la
  fase rápida no espere a los blackframe lentos sobre NAS.
- Agrupación por (dir + título-pre-SxxEyy + season): los títulos
  parseados arrastran nombre de episodio y tags de release.
- Gotcha cazado en vivo: fpcalc -length sale sin drenar el pipe; hay
  que cerrar nuestro read-end o ffmpeg queda bloqueado para siempre.
- config: library.skip_detect (default true, backfill) y scan_interval
  default 24h → 1h (estilo Plex).
