feat(dl): add cross-mux support for combining tracks from multiple services

Add --cross-video, --cross-audio, --cross-subtitles, and --cross-chapters options that allow sourcing specific track types from different streaming services. Each cross-service runs its full authentication and track fetching pipeline independently.
Also adds --cross-audio-offset and --cross-subtitle-offset with human-friendly time formats (e.g. '10s', '500ms', '-5.5s') for timing adjustment via mkvmerge --sync, --cross-profile for per-service credentials, and --cross-wanted for manual episode mapping override.
