[FEATURE] resolution_assert_ignore_titles to ignore specific low-resolution videos (#1336)
Closes https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/1313

Adds `resolution_assert_ignore_titles` variable to be able to ignore specific videos in a subscription where 360p is suspected to be the only option.

Ideally, it would be nice if ytdl-sub could determine whether 360p is actually the only resolution or not automatically, and download if it's true. We need to do more research to determine if this is possible.

In the meantime, the above variable should help manually get around this. Usage:

```
   # use tilda mode to set override variables to the subscription
   "~My Subscription":
     url: "https://youtube.com/@channel"
     resolution_assert_ignore_titles:
       - "This 360p Video Title"
```

[BACKEND] Make resolution print debug-level (#1326)
```
Resolution assert is enabled, will fail on low-quality video downloads and presume throttle. Disable using the override variable `enable_resolution_assert: False
```
Spams during the initialization phase. Ideally, we should only print this once the subscription has begun downloading. Perhaps via a `print` plugin? Either way, set this to debug log level.

[FEATURE] Override variable support for throttle protection ranges (#1315)
Adds support for setting throttle_protection range values using static override variables. `sleep_per_download_s` has additional support for entry variables since it's used per entry.

We can now experiment with scaling this value based on entry attributes, such as duration. Example:

```
throttle_protection:
  sleep_per_download_s:
    min: >-
      {
        %mul(5.5, %pow( duration, 0.4 ))
      }
    max: >-
      {
        %mul(6.5, %pow( duration, 0.6 ))
      }
```

[DOCS] Various clarifications (#1289)
* docs(preset): Config file top presets vs base

* docs(throttle): resolution/quality throttle asset

I also added the "wait a few hours and try again" hint, sorry I didn't think of this
when reviewing your PR. While doing that I also reformatted the `%concat(...)` arguments
to be more readable to me. Particularly to keep clear what punctuation is about argument
separation as opposed to punctuation meant to be included in the resulting string. Not a
strong preference if you don't like it.

* docs(various): Minor typo and formatting fixes

* docs(preset): Fix presets vs preset in config file

From [feedback](https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/pull/1289#discussion_r2289960678).

* test(throttle): Match modified assertion text

If it were my test, I'd only make assertions on the spirit of error message text
necessary to confirm it's the right error message and not another.

* docs(throttle): More likely override value

From [feedback](https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/pull/1289#discussion_r2289976156).

[FEATURE] Resolution assert built into throttle protection (#1288)
Closes https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/1241

YouTube is upping their throttling by serving 360p videos. Most likely to give us and genAI scraping a bad time on purpose.

Resolution assertion will be enabled by default. It will:

- Require > 360 height (pixels)
- Can configure the width by setting `resolution_assert_height_gte: 1080` to require 1080p, or any desired value
- Can disable resolution assert by setting `enable_resolution_assert: False`

[DOCS] Add Architecture section and Quick Start (#1287)
* docs(config): Clarify preset ordering priority

Refs #1276

* docs(architecture): WIP Narrative how it works

Much of this is repetition of the reference docs and some of the changes here should
also be applied here. The goal is to repeat here the parts of the reference docs that
may hang up a user when reading "Getting Started" without sending them off to get lost
in the weeds of the reference docs.

Note that this references a `Quick Start` document which is just an empty placeholder
and is to be written in a subsequent change.

Fixes #1279

* docs(terms): Glossary redundant with architecture

Now that the introduction includes an architectural overview, that section introduces
new users to necessary concepts and associated terminology and makes the terminology
section redundant in that part of the docs.

* docs(quick): Add a rote quick start guide

This is what I came up with when I tried to write instructions requiring as little
understanding as possible. Doing so really did reinforce my impression that this just
shouldn't be done, that significant understanding is required for *any* use of ytdl-sub
and even offering a quick start may be irresponsible. I'm still on the fence, thoughts?

That said, I also think I got some good explanations out of this and a better
understanding of what the next bits of the Getting Started should be. This Quick Start
is currently redundant with other parts of the Getting Started pages. I suspect that
I'll end up repeating and/or reorganizing parts of this Quick Start into the next bits
of the Getting Started. To that end I might argue that this change is a WIP and that
merging should wait. But I could also argue that this is an incremental improvement and
can be merged before that other work. Your call.

* docs(start): Various rST/Sphinx markup issues

[BACKEND] Enable throttle protection by default (#1257)
To protect new users, all prebuilt preset (excluding Soundcloud and Bandcamp) will include throttle protection by default.


> How do I disable?

Set the override variable `enable_throttle_protection: False`.
This can be done on a per-subscription basis and/or in the top __preset__ section to apply to all presets:

```
__preset__:
  overrides:
    enable_throttle_protection: False
```

> What if I already use throttle protection?

Your settings will override whatever values are set in the defaults.

[FEATURE] Emby prebuilt presets (#1232)
Gives Emby first class support by creating prebuilt presets for each variant, including
- `Emby TV Show by Date`
- `Emby TV Show Collection`
- `Emby Music Videos`

Emby is identical to Jellyfin except in TV Show Collection, where it requires a `season.nfo`. A new plugin `StaticNfoTags` has been created to create those.

Huge thanks to @Kamaroth92 for the initial code for this feature!

Adds the ability to change the `keep_files_date_eval` (traditionally upload_date_standardized) to any date, so long as its in the form of YYYY-MM-DD.

Will be able to use this to have episodes get deleted based on their release_date or epoch_date, instead of their upload_date.

[FEATURE] Filter Keywords prebuilt preset (#1086)
Adds ``Filter Keywords``, a preset that can include or exclude media with any of the listed keywords. Both keywords and title/description are lower-cased before filtering.

Supports the following override variables:

* ``title_include_keywords``
* ``title_exclude_keywords``
* ``description_include_keywords``
* ``description_exclude_keywords``

For best usage, use the `~` tilda subscription mode to set a subscription's list override variables.
Tilda mode allows override variables to be set directly underneath it.

```
Plex TV Show by Date | Filter Keywords:
  
  = Documentaries:
    "~NOVA PBS":
       url: "https://www.youtube.com/@novapbs"
       title_exclude_keywords:

[BREAKING CHANGE] Remove regex plugin (#1067)
Regex plugin has been removed in favor of scripting. The function [regex_capture_many](https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config_reference/scripting/scripting_functions.html#regex-capture-many) has been created to replicate the plugin's behavior. See the following converted example:

`regex, now deprecated`
```
    regex:
      from:
        title:
          match:
            - ".*? - (.*)"  # Captures 'Song' from 'Emily Hopkins - Some - Song'
          capture_group_names:
            - "captured_track_title"
          capture_group_defaults:
            - "{title}"
    overrides:
      track_title: "{captured_track_title}"
```

`scripting equivalent`
```
    overrides:
      # Captures 'Song' from 'Emily Hopkins - Some - Song'
      captured_track_title: >-
        {
          %regex_capture_many(
            title,
            [ ".*? - (.*)" ],
            [ title ]
          )
        }
      track_title: "{%array_at(captured_track_title, 1)}"
```

## Motivation:
Regex was a unique plugin that added custom variables based on user input. This made the backend need to support both `overrides` and 'plugin user variables'. Removing `regex` plugin will consolidate this logic into only `overrides`, making it much easier to maintain.

Adds the function `%contains_any`, and list support in a tilda override subscription. The end-goal of these features are to more easily add a title exclude list, like so:

```
__preset__:
  filter_exclude:
    - "{%contains_any( %lower(title), exclude_title_strings )}"

...
Jellyfin TV Show by Date:
  ~History Documentaries:
    url: "https://..."
    exclude_title_strings:
      - "trailer"
      - "preview"
```

A proper prebuilt preset or built-in functionality will follow this change.
