feat: Add YouTube Shorts and Playlist support

Phase 2 Complete: YouTube Feature Enhancements

Features Added:
✅ YouTube Shorts Support
  - Added Shorts URL pattern recognition (/shorts/)
  - Shorts detection method isYouTubeShorts()
  - Video ID extraction from Shorts URLs
  - Automatic normalization to watch URLs
  - Multi-line text extraction for Shorts
  - Deduplication across URL formats

✅ YouTube Playlist Extraction
  - IPC handler to extract all videos from playlists
  - Uses yt-dlp --flat-playlist for efficient extraction
  - Returns playlist ID, video count, and video array
  - Handles large playlists with streaming JSON parsing
  - Error handling for private/deleted playlists
  - Preload bridge method for renderer access

Changes:
- Updated scripts/utils/url-validator.js
  - isYouTubeUrl() now includes /shorts/ pattern
  - New isYouTubeShorts() detection method
  - extractYouTubeId() handles Shorts URLs
  - validateMultipleUrls() extracts Shorts from text

- Added src/main.js IPC handler
  - extract-playlist-videos handler (line 921-1004)
  - Validates playlist URL format
  - Parses yt-dlp JSON output
  - Returns structured playlist data

- Updated src/preload.js
  - Added extractPlaylistVideos bridge method
  - Exposes playlist extraction to renderer

- Tests: 204 total passing (+22 new)
  - 8 new Shorts tests in url-validation.test.js
  - 14 new playlist tests in playlist-extraction.test.js
  - All existing 182 tests still passing

Test Coverage:
✅ Core Unit Tests (57 tests)
✅ Service Tests (27 tests)
✅ Component Tests (29 tests)
✅ Validation Tests (33 tests) +22 NEW
✅ System Tests (42 tests)
✅ Accessibility Tests (16 tests)
