[Feature] Native Stremio Addon support (Manifest endpoint) #725

Description

@Kerwy

Description:
I would like to suggest integrating a native Stremio Addon interface directly into TorrServer. Currently, users have to rely on third-party "bridge" addons to see their TorrServer library/history within Stremio. These bridges often break when the TorrServer API (e.g., MatriX) changes.

Why it's useful:
Stremio is one of the most popular media players in the community. Services like TorBox or Real-Debrid have native catalogs in Stremio that show user downloads/history.

Having TorrServer serve its own manifest.json would allow users to:
See their local/remote TorrServer library directly on the Stremio Home Screen.

Search through their TorrServer database within the Stremio UI.
Eliminate the need for external Docker containers just to "translate" the API for Stremio.

Technical Suggestion:
TorrServer could expose a few new endpoints:
/stremio/manifest.json - Serving the Stremio Addon manifest.
/stremio/catalog/... - Providing a catalog of items from the current database (/torrents or /db/list).
/stremio/stream/... - Providing stream links for the items.

Since TorrServer already manages metadata (titles, posters, hashes), it has all the necessary data to act as a Stremio Addon provider.

Example of use case:
A user adds the URL https://your-torrserver-url/stremio/manifest.json into Stremio, and instantly, a new row called "TorrServer Library" appears on their dashboard.
