Audible regions: isEnglish flag + UI warnings

Add an isEnglish flag to AUDIBLE_REGIONS and update region handling across the app. UI: populate Audible region selects from AUDIBLE_REGIONS and mark non-English regions with a '*' and an amber warning explaining limited feature support. Service: set axios default param language=english on Audible requests (simplifies/fixes locale handling) and remove the previous locale-correction flow. API: validate regions dynamically from AUDIBLE_REGIONS. Also bump package version to 1.0.2. These changes make region metadata explicit and inform users about limited support for non-English regions while forcing English content where supported.

Configurable Audible region for accurate metadata matching across different international Audible stores.

- India (`in`) - `audible.in` (English)
- Germany (`de`) - `audible.de` (non-English)
**`isEnglish` Flag:**
- Each region has `isEnglish: boolean` in `AudibleRegionConfig`
- Non-English regions (`isEnglish: false`) display an amber warning in all region dropdowns (setup wizard + admin settings)
- Warning text: "Many features such as search, discovery, and metadata matching are not yet fully supported for non-English regions."
- Dropdown options for non-English regions show `*` suffix (e.g., "Germany *")
**Why Regions Matter:**
- Each Audible region uses different ASINs for the same audiobook

**Non-English locale pages served to users outside US (2026-02-05)**
- **Problem:** Audible uses IP geolocation to add culture codes (e.g., `es_US`, `fr_CA`) to URLs, serving locale-specific pages. `ipRedirectOverride=true` only prevents region redirects (audible.com → audible.co.uk), NOT language/locale redirects within the same region.
- **Impact:** Users self-hosting from non-English-speaking countries (e.g., Dominican Republic) got Spanish bestsellers/new releases on their homepage because the `audible_refresh` job scraped locale-redirected pages.
- **Fix:** Three-layer defense in `AudibleService`:
1. **Cookie:** `lc-acbus=en_US` header hints English locale preference
2. **Locale picker detection (primary):** After every request, checks response URL for non-`en_*` culture codes (`xx_YY` pattern). If found, parses page HTML for Audible's `<adbl-toggle-chip>` locale picker, extracts the English option's `data-value` URL, and re-requests. Data-driven — uses Audible's own English URL rather than guessing.
3. **Fallback URL rewrite:** If no locale picker found, strips the culture code from the path and adds `language=en_US` query param (mirrors picker pattern).
- **Verification:** After correction, validates the response URL no longer contains a non-English culture code and logs success/failure.
- **Location:** `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts``handleLocaleRedirect()`, `initialize()`
- **Affects:** All Audible scraping: popular, new releases, search, detail pages (via `fetchWithRetry`)
- **Problem:** Audible uses IP geolocation to serve locale-specific pages (e.g., Spanish content for Dominican Republic IPs). `ipRedirectOverride=true` only prevents region redirects (audible.com → audible.co.uk), NOT language/locale changes.
- **Impact:** Users self-hosting from non-English-speaking countries got non-English bestsellers/new releases on their homepage.
- **Fix:** Added `language=english` query parameter to all Audible requests via axios default params. Audible respects this parameter and serves English content regardless of IP geolocation. Fails gracefully for regions where English isn't available.
- **Location:** `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts``initialize()` (axios default params)
