💡 What:
Replaced dict.setdefault(key, []).append(val) with collections.defaultdict(list) inside scripts/dl_cleanup.py and added import collections.

🎯 Why:
In Python, setdefault(key, default_value) evaluates the default_value argument on every call, regardless of whether the key exists. This means in progmap.setdefault(entry.progname, []).append(entry), a new empty list [] was being instantiated and immediately discarded for every single parsed file entry. collections.defaultdict(list) evaluates the default factory function only when a missing key is encountered.

📊 Impact:
Removes O(N) unnecessary list instantiations where N is the number of files parsed by dl_cleanup.py. This provides a measurable speedup for large target download directories and reduces garbage collection pressure.

🔬 Measurement:
Run python3 scripts/dl_cleanup.py -d and ensure that the script still identifies the exact same versions of files to keep or delete without throwing errors.

Replace `dict.setdefault()` with `collections.defaultdict(list)` in
`scripts/dl_cleanup.py`. `setdefault` evaluates its default argument
on every single call, meaning an empty list is created and discarded
for every single entry iteration. Using `defaultdict` shifts the
list creation logic to only run when the key is actually missing,
improving performance and reducing object allocations.
