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
