feat(jellyfin): the provider keys ride a host file the deployer installs

Jellyfin 12 ships TMDB, TVDB, StudioImages and MusicBrainz as core plugins:
no DLL, only a configuration file under the data root, so the keys have to
reach that XML from somewhere that is not git. They live in the fleet's
per-service env-file convention -- /home/dank/Containers/jellyfin/provider-keys
(TMDB_API_KEY=, TVDB_API_KEY=, optional TVDB_PIN=, mode 600) -- and
scripts/jellyfin-providers.sh plan|install|verify reads only that file, prints
no key byte, and refuses a keys file that is not mode 600 or that has no line
for the provider about to be written. install is idempotent: it never touches
a key the UI already saved, backs up every XML it edits into
~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-jellyfin-providers/ first, and only installs the TVDB
plugin when the pinned official zip carries the plugin guid.

The deployer runs install BEFORE it restarts jellyfin, because the plugin and
its keys are read at start-up and a restart-first deploy boots the old state.
A missing keys file warns instead of failing: a host without the keys still
deploys, degraded rather than broken. No plugin configuration XML is tracked.

# Metadata-provider keys for Jellyfin on Dankserver, placed from the service's
# host env file with the plugin artifact pinned by content hash.
#
# Jellyfin 12 ships TMDb, OMDb, StudioImages and MusicBrainz as CORE plugins:
# they have no DLL, only a configuration file under the data root, and that
# file is created by the running container. So the fleet's provider state lives
# in two places the repo does not track —
#
# plugins/configurations/Jellyfin.Plugin.Tmdb.xml <TmdbApiKey /> (empty = keyless)
# plugins/configurations/Jellyfin.Plugin.Tvdb.xml <ApiKey /> (needs the plugin)
#
# and both are owned by the container user. This tool is the only thing that
# writes them: it is declarative, idempotent, and it never prints a key, so it
# is safe to run while someone watches.
#
# Keys never enter git and never enter argv (a value in argv is world-readable
# through /proc/<pid>/cmdline). They live in the per-service host env file that
# is the fleet's convention for container credentials (grafana, caddy, pihole,
# copyparty, romm, seerr), mode 600:
#
# /home/dank/Containers/jellyfin/provider-keys
# TMDB_API_KEY=<key>
# TVDB_API_KEY=<key>
# TVDB_PIN=<pin> # optional: only a subscriber-shaped TVDB key
# # needs one; a licensed key does not
#
# TVDB itself is not core in 12 (the metadata provider was cut in 10.9), so it
# is installed from the official catalog, pinned three ways: sha256 of the
# artifact, the plugin's own guid, and its version. A matching sha proves only
# that the bytes are the bytes fetched — the guid check is what says it is the
# official plugin, the version check is what says it is the one this file was
# reviewed against.
#
# Subcommands
# plan print the resolved shape and every pending change, touch nothing
# install fetch+verify the plugin, then write the keys (backing up first)
# verify prove the plugin and both keys are actually in place
#
# Nothing here restarts Jellyfin: the deployer owns that
# (`scripts/deploy.sh dankserver --service jellyfin`), and the plugin is read at
# start-up, so a key written while the server runs is not live until then.
