Implement Pluggable Download Client Architecture (PDCA)

- Add abstract DownloadClient base class with standardized interface - Refactor QBittorrentClient to extend DownloadClient with Sync API support - Create SABnzbdClient implementing DownloadClient interface - Add TransmissionClient as proof-of-concept implementation - Implement DownloadClientRegistry for factory pattern and client management - Refactor poller.js to use unified client interface (30-40% code reduction) - Maintain 100% backward compatibility with existing cache structure - Add comprehensive test suite (12 unit + integration tests) - Update ARCHITECTURE.md with detailed PDCA documentation - Create ADDING-A-DOWNLOAD-CLIENT.md guide for future client additions Features: - Client-agnostic polling with error isolation - Consistent data normalization across all clients - Easy extensibility for new download client types - Zero breaking changes to existing functionality - Parallel execution with unified timing and logging
