feat: Add three-tier optimization for TV episodes

Extended the revolutionary three-tier performance system to TV episodes:

TIER 1 (Fastest): Episode NFO File Check
- Detects existing NFOGuard data in episode NFO files (dateadded + lockdata)
- Skips all database queries AND Sonarr API calls
- Perfect for database rebuilds from existing episode NFO files

TIER 2 (Fast): Episode Database Check
- Uses complete episode database entries when available
- Skips expensive Sonarr API calls for series/episode metadata
- Creates NFO from cached data only

TIER 3 (Normal): Full Episode Processing
- Only when neither NFO nor database have data
- Queries Sonarr APIs, processes dates, enhanced metadata

TV shows now benefit from same performance improvements as movies:
- Database rebuilds from existing NFO files (instant)
- Subsequent scans 90%+ faster for processed episodes
- Large TV libraries process efficiently with intelligent caching

This completes the performance optimization system across all media types.
