Add per-video subtitle language picker on Watch page

- fetch_available_subs() queries yt-dlp for manual + auto-generated
  subtitle langs available on YouTube for any given video
- GET /api/videos/by-yt/{ytId}/subs exposes this to the frontend
- DownloadRequest now accepts subtitle_langs to override the global
  setting on a per-download basis
- Watch page fetches available subtitle langs on load (in parallel),
  shows a CC dropdown with manual langs + auto-generated langs labeled
  "(auto)"; selected lang is passed through to the download
