Bug fix: Reject bitmap subtitles (PGS/VobSub/DVB)

Problem: When a video file contained only bitmap subtitle tracks (PGS, VobSub, DVB), the addon would extract the raw binary data and send it to DeepL, producing garbled output (86% corrupted characters like pPH).

Fix:

  • Detect bitmap subtitle codecs (hdmv_pgs_subtitle, dvd_subtitle, dvb_subtitle, xsub) before extraction
  • find_source_subtitle() now filters out bitmap tracks and prefers text-based tracks (SRT/ASS/SSA/VTT)
  • Clear error message when only bitmap subtitles are available: "Bitmap subtitles cannot be translated — they contain images, not text."
  • Prevents sending binary PGS data to translation APIs

Reported by: Daniel via Grand Designs UK S27E06 subtitle with PGS tracks.
