Depends on: #142

§9.6 keeps rich detail out of the database and serves it through arr-meta's 24h
cache. Three fields are the deliberate exception, because the views that need
them are pure SQL: the in-library half of unified search (§9.2) and the library
view read movies and series directly, and a poster on those rows would
otherwise cost one TMDB call per row on every search.

Add to both movies and series:

poster_path    TEXT
backdrop_path  TEXT
vote_average   REAL

Nullable, no default. A title added before its first metadata refresh has no
artwork yet and the UI has to handle that anyway — TMDB has entries with no
poster at all.

  • Migration follows the numbering and the STRICT convention already in
    crates/arr-db/migrations/. REAL is a valid STRICT column type; a rating
    is not an integer and storing it scaled would be a trap for whoever reads it
    next.
  • The daily metadata refresh in arr-daemon writes all three, alongside the
    fields it already refreshes. This is the whole point of the issue: a column
    nothing fills is worse than no column.
  • The add flows (POST /api/movies, POST /api/series, and the unified-search
    add path) fill them from the TMDB response they already hold, so a title
    added today has a poster before tomorrow's refresh.
  • vote_count is deliberately not stored. It is context for a rating on a
    detail page, which is served live, not something the library grid shows.

Regenerate the sqlx query data — several queries are SELECT-listed by hand.

Non-goal: no backfill job for titles already in the library. The daily refresh
reaches every one of them within a day and a one-off job would be dead code by
the end of the week.
