Fix apostrophe matching, add URL input for track mapping, improve search caching

- Enhanced FuzzyMatcher to normalize apostrophes (', ', ', etc) for better matching
- Added Redis-only caching for search results (15 min TTL)
- Added pattern-based cache deletion for search and image keys
- Added URL input field in Map to Local modal to paste Jellyfin track URLs
- Added /api/admin/jellyfin/track/{id} endpoint to fetch track details by ID
- Fixed duplicate cache key declaration in GetSpotifyPlaylistTracksOrderedAsync
- Updated cache clearing to include new spotify:playlist:items:* keys
