perf: split into fast poll + slow-cached library fetches

Fast poll (every cycle): SABnzbd, Sonarr/Radarr queue + history,
qBittorrent — all lightweight with no include* params.

Slow cache (5 min TTL): Sonarr series, Radarr movies, tags —
fetched only when cache expires. These rarely change.

This eliminates the 2s+ includeSeries/includeMovie joins from
every poll cycle. First poll is still slow (cold cache), but
subsequent polls should complete in <500ms.
