feat: add metadata refresh job to re-download metadata for linked series

Adds a new job type that refreshes metadata from external providers for
all series already linked via approved external_metadata_links. Tracks
and displays per-field diffs (series and book level), respects locked
fields, and provides a detailed change report in the job detail page.
