fix(search): surface iTunes stubs and resolve feeds for delisted shows

Shows that left Apple Podcasts (e.g. Daily Wire's in 2021) come back from
the iTunes Search API as metadata-only stub records with feedUrl null.
mapItunesResult dropped them, so The Ben Shapiro Show — the #1 hit for
'ben shapiro' — never appeared in search while sibling shows did.

- Keep feedUrl-less results (feedUrl "" + directoryUrl pointing at the
  Apple page) so delisted shows stay findable.
- Resolve the real feed from the Apple page at subscribe time
  (itunes-feed-resolver: anchor on the collection's adamId, forward-scan
  for the embedded feedUrl; Apple serves page variants where the
  showOffer block sits thousands of chars after the adamId).
- addFeed refuses feedless stubs whose feed can't be resolved instead of
  adding a broken feed; SearchPage surfaces the failure via toast.
- Tests: stub mapping, extractor variants, and an end-to-end subscribe
  over a local HTTP server.
