fix(newznab): make indexer book categories configurable (#1214)

Newznab searches hardcoded category 7000 for ebooks and 3030 for
audiobooks,
so indexers using custom IDs returned no results or the wrong ones. Add
NEWZNAB_EBOOK_CATEGORIES and NEWZNAB_AUDIOBOOK_CATEGORIES (tag lists,
defaulting to 7000 and 3030) and resolve the search categories from
config.

Values are parsed leniently — list or comma/whitespace separated,
non-numeric
entries skipped, duplicates dropped — and fall back to the standard IDs
when
empty, so a cleared field can't silently widen the search to every
category.
NEWZNAB_AUTO_EXPAND remains the way to do that on purpose.

Results carrying a custom ID outside the standard 7000-7999 / 3030
ranges were
typed as "other", which routed custom-category audiobooks as ebooks.
Trust the
searched content type when a result carries a category we explicitly
asked for.

Also drop the unused NEWZNAB_BOOKS / NEWZNAB_AUDIOBOOKS constants from
api.py —
a third copy of the same hardcoding.

Closes #1208
