audible: enforce English locale and fix redirects

Add English-locale enforcement and locale-redirect handling for the Audible integration. Adds Cookie 'lc-acbus=en_US' to Audible client headers and implements handleLocaleRedirect(...) in src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts to detect non-English culture codes in response URLs, parse Audible's <adbl-toggle-chip> locale picker to obtain the canonical English URL and re-request it, with a fallback URL rewrite (strip culture code + language=en_US). Wire the correction into fetchWithRetry so responses redirected to locale-specific pages are corrected before use. Update documentation (documentation/integrations/audible.md) to describe the behavior and bump package version to 1.0.1.

+**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`)
