feat: M2 (part 1) — subscription import, YouTube client, quota guard

- Channel/Subscription/Video/ApiQuotaUsage models + migration 0002
- Synchronous YouTube Data API client with OAuth token refresh and per-call
  quota accounting (API key preferred for public reads when configured)
- Subscription import: upsert channels + subscription links, prune unsubscribed,
  fetch channel details (uploads playlist, topics, stats, handle, country)
- Central quota guard tracking units per US-Pacific day against a daily budget
- POST /api/sync/subscriptions and GET /api/sync/status endpoints
