[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] Clarify Docker container image install (#1282)
* docs(install): Redundant platform-specific mention

I'm guessing this is a remnant from before it got it's own page.

* docs(docker): Clarify container image install

Capturing my changes thus far while I go off to educate myself about rST/Sphinx refs vs
links. As such, this duplicates a reference link in a way I don't like:

    :ref:`Automating Downloads <guides/getting_started/automating_downloads:docker and
    unraid>`

If you want to fix that or are OK with the duplication, this should be ready to
go. Otherwise, I'll fix and force push once I've learned how to do this correctly.

A matter of opinion in this change, I did away with the tabbed GUI vs headless code
blocks and the separate CPU/GPU passthrough code blocks because I find comments in
example code to be more clear, more readable, and more approachable. This also has the
benefit of putting informative comments in the resulting user's configuration. For
example, imagine a user that learns only later that they require GPU passthrough, their
configuration is already ready to get them started. This comes at the cost some repeated
comments (`environment:` and `deploy:` for GPU passthrough) and the fancy Sphinx
highlighting of relevant lines. I think the trade-off is a net benefit for users.

* docs(sphinx): Fix extlinks LSIO reference usage

* docs(sphinx): Address inline literal warning

Addresses:

    ./docs/source/config_reference/plugins.rst:848: WARNING: Inline literal start-string
    without end-string. [docutils]

* docs(start): Clarify prerequisite tech knowledge

[BACKEND]: Less finger-printable request delay in throttle protection (#1273)
Thanks @rpatterson for the fix!
---------

Following [discussion about the previous preset
delay](https://discord.com/channels/994270357957648404/994270357957648408/1405705039649046589),
we weren't able to find a reason for it and there was agreement that the example value
from yt-dlp is more sensible.

While we're at it, also set a default `min:` value that would probably be sensible if it
were to be used in the future.

Finally, capture the reasoning behind the new preset values in comments to make the
reference documentation more helpful to new users in the future.

[FEATURE] Filter Duration prebuilt preset (#1259)
Adds the prebuilt preset ``Filter Duration``, which can include/exclude media based on its duration.

Supports the following override variables:

* ``filter_duration_min_s``
* ``filter_duration_max_s``

Usage:

```
      Plex TV Show by Date | Filter Duration:

        = Documentaries:
          "~NOVA PBS":
            url: "https://www.youtube.com/@novapbs"
            filter_duration_min_s: 120  # Only download videos at least 2m long

        = Sports:
          "~Maple Leafs Highlights":
            url: "https://www.youtube.com/@NHL"
            filter_duration_max_s: 180  # Only get highlight videos less than 3m long
```

[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.

[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.

[FEATURE] Enhance music video presets using specialized map syntax (#808)

```
__preset__:
  overrides:
    music_video_directory: "/music_videos"

# Choose between Jellyfin/Kodi/Plex Music Videos preset:
#   - Plex Music Videos:
#   - Jellyfin Music Videos:
#   - Kodi Music Videos:
#
"Plex Music Videos":

  = Pop:  # Sets genre tag to "Pop"
    "Rick Astley": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlaN88a7y2_plecYoJxvRFTLHVbIVAOoc"
    "Michael Jackson": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mnY03zP6abNWH929q2XhGzWD_2uKJ_n8E"

  = Rock:
    # Prefixing with '+' puts the subscription into 'map-mode'.
    # Music video presets in map-mode support grouping videos into different
    # categories, which get set on the album field.
    #
    # URLs can either be strings, or maps that can overload title, year, date
    "+ Guns N' Roses":
      Music Videos:
        - "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTK54q5K4INNXaHKtmXYr6J7CajWjqeJ"
      Concerts:
        - title: "Live at The Ritz - New York City"
          year: "1988"
          url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OldpIhHPsbs"
        - title: "Live at The Hollywood Bowl"
          date: "2023-01-11"
          url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7hutGlvq9I"
```
The 'map-mode' (denoted by `+`) lets you specify a map of music video categories. Under each category, a URL can be specified as-is or with additional metadata (title, year/date, url).

Music videos and concerts, especially older ones, are typically uploaded by random users with inconsistencies in their titles. This syntax aims to make it easy to specify individual URLs with the ability to overwrite their title and year, and group them by category.

[FEATURE] Allow YAML maps and lists in overrides, convert to script format (#956)

For example, you can now create lists like this:
```
overrides:
  urls:
    - "https://...1"
    - "https://...2"
```
which is equivalent to:
```
overrides:
  urls: >-
    {
      [
        "https://...1",
        "https://...2",
      ]
    }
```

Likewise, maps can now look like:
```
overrides:
  music_video_category:
    concerts:
      - "https://...1"
      - "https://...2"
    interviews:
      - "https://...3"
```
which is equivalent to:
```
overrides:
  music_video_category: >-
    {
      "concerts": [
        "https://...1",
        "https://...2"
      ],
      "interviews": [
