Route SimpCity forum scraping through FlareSolverr + add turbo.cr resolver

DDoS-Guard now binds session cookies to the issuing browser's fingerprint, so
direct Node fetch returns 403 even with valid cookies. Page HTML for any
forum_site with stored cookies is now fetched via a FlareSolverr browser
session opened once per scrape job.

- Hybrid cookie refresh: FlareSolverr clears the DDoS-Guard captcha, those
  cookies seed undetected_chromedriver, Turnstile auto-solves in the real
  browser, login form submits, final cookies + browser UA persist to forum_sites
- Per-site user_agent column so subsequent scraper requests match the UA the
  cookies were issued for (DDoS-Guard rejects UA mismatches)
- XenForo search rewritten as proper CSRF POST /search/search → results page
  parse, replacing the broken ?q=... GET that only returned the search form
- Pagination regex fallback in detectMaxPage catches XenForo pages that
  cheerio's class-based selectors miss
- New scrapers/turbo.js handles turbo.cr /embed/ and /a/ URLs by rendering
  the page via FlareSolverr and grabbing the signed mp4 from the resolved
  <video src> attribute (gallery-dl can't extract these — obfuscated WASM)
