Closes #137

This PR introduces the first authentication system for letterboxdpy, enabling authenticated requests and session persistence. This allows access to user-specific content such as adult movie metadata.

Key Features

  • Authentication: Modern object-oriented login flow via UserSession class.
  • Persistence: Automatic session saving and loading to .lboxd_session.
  • Validation: Proactive session validation (local expiry + server-side heartbeat).
  • Integration: Seamlessly synchronizes authenticated sessions with the global Scraper instance.
  • CLI: Interactive terminal login via python -m letterboxdpy.auth --login.
  • Testing: Added 31 unit and integration tests to ensure stability.
