Refactor: Extract duplicate code into reusable helpers

- Created RoundRobinFallbackHelper for SquidWTF services (eliminates 3 duplicates)
- Moved QueueRequestAsync to BaseDownloadService (eliminates 2 duplicates)
- Moved CalculateArtistMatchScore to FuzzyMatcher (eliminates 2 duplicates)
- Updated all SquidWTF services to use RoundRobinFallbackHelper
- Updated DeezerDownloadService and SquidWTFDownloadService to use base class rate limiting
- Updated SpotifyTrackMatchingService and JellyfinController to use FuzzyMatcher helper
- All 225 tests passing
