This adds in rtorrent for
https://github.com/calibrain/shelfmark/issues/420
The one weird thing I noticed is that the download path needs to be the
same for both (that's not how I typically set it up)
But it definitely adds to rtorrent and gives progress.
**rTorrent client integration:**
* Added a new `RTorrentClient` class in
`shelfmark/release_sources/prowlarr/clients/rtorrent.py` that implements
the download client interface for rTorrent using XML-RPC, supporting
adding, removing, and querying torrent status.
* Registered the rTorrent client in the client registry in
`shelfmark/release_sources/prowlarr/clients/__init__.py`.
**Settings and configuration:**
* Extended the Prowlarr client settings UI and backend
(`shelfmark/release_sources/prowlarr/settings.py`) to add rTorrent as a
selectable client, provide rTorrent-specific configuration fields (URL,
username, password, label, download directory), and implement a
connection test action.

**Test environment and scripts:**
* Updated `docker-compose.test-clients.yml` to add an rTorrent service
for local testing, including configuration, ports, and documentation
updates.

XML-RPC.

Closes https://github.com/calibrain/shelfmark/issues/420
- Prowlarr: Added automatic fallback to search without category filter
when indexers return no results with book category (7000), improving

language metadata

helper functions, and added health check capability
- Bypass: Added fingerprint module for screen size handling

app version
- Frontend: Added supported_filters config to control which filters
display per source
- Auth: Improved CWA database path validation (now uses Path object
properly)
- Updated Selenium to 4.45.6. Includes various crash and memory leak
fixes, plus new bypasser methods
- Bypasser now uses CDP captcha solving as priority - Faster, more
efficient, no PyAutoGUI needed. Fallback to existing methods.
- Better detection and cleanup of old Selenium instances to save memory.
- Added Hardcover graphQL API header detection
