feat(api): sync /api/download with dl CLI flags and add serve.* defaults

- Wire --no-proxy-download through download_manager + handlers + swagger
- Add tag/proxy/tmdb_id/animeapi_id/enrich/worst to DEFAULT_DOWNLOAD_PARAMS
- Normalize `slow` (bool/"MIN-MAX" string/list) to tuple before invoking dl.result
- Overlay any /api/download flag declared under `serve:` in unshackle.yaml as a default (downloads, workers, best_available, etc.); request body still wins
- Quiet successful worker stderr from `warning` to `debug` (kept under job.worker_stderr for ?full=true)
- Include HYBRID in range validator
- Document new flags + overlay layering + max_concurrent_downloads / download_job_retention_hours

+Jobs are retained for 24 hours after completion (override via top-level `download_job_retention_hours` in `unshackle.yaml`).
