YouTube stopped serving muxed streams and YoutubeExplode 6.6.0 failed on
every video ("Video is not available"), so no trailer downloaded. Bump
YoutubeExplode to 6.6.2, download the best video-only + audio-only streams
and stream-copy them into one MP4 with ffmpeg. The separate files are
always deleted afterwards, merge or not.
Also delete the trailer folder when a download fails. Empty folders were
treated as "already downloaded" (never retried) and counted toward
MaxTotalTrailers, so over time they pushed out every real trailer. The
skip check now requires the trailer file itself.

- Download trailers for TV shows from TMDB with separate sources and an
independent max-count cap (0 disables a category)
- Play trailers before TV episodes via IIntroProvider, limited to the first
episode a user watches each day
- Tag TV show trailers in their NFO so movies only get movie trailers and
episodes only get TV show trailers

Trailer selection now supports three optional filters:
- Genre match: prefer trailers whose fake-movie genre overlaps with the
feature being played (requires TMDB genres in NFO)
- Age rating ceiling: exclude trailers rated higher than the feature
(requires TMDB certification in NFO)
- Avoid repeats: cycle through all trailers before replaying any;
resets per-user once the pool is exhausted
Genre and certification are fetched from TMDB at download time via a
single /movie/{id}?append_to_response=release_dates call and written
into the fake-movie NFO as <genre> and <mpaa> tags. All filters fall
back to the full unfiltered pool when no match is found.

Two issues prevented fake-movie generation:
- ffmpeg was invoked by bare name, but only /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
exists on the host (Jellyfin's bundled copy, not on PATH). Now probing that
path first with fallback to PATH.
- The temp file extension .tmp caused ffmpeg to fail with "Unable to choose an
output format" since it auto-detects the container from the extension. Added
-f mp4 to specify the format explicitly.

Adapted from Trailers4Jellyfin: keeps TMDB/YouTube trailer downloading,
the scheduled task, language/source/date filters, and trailer rotation,
but drops cinema-mode/IIntroProvider entirely. Each trailer now ships in
its own fake-movie folder (placeholder video + locked NFO + trailer) for
use with a Cinema Mode / trailer pre-roll plugin.
