Release v2.0.1 (fix broken 2.0.0 tarball)

v2.0.0 was deprecated. NPM tarball was missing module files due to restrictive .npmignore.

Features same as 2.0.0:

• Smart backend scoring (composite: success rate + latency + quality)
• Search result caching (LRU with TTL, configurable)
• DuckDuckGo v9.x metasearch (backend, region, timelimit)
• Per-backend config (timeout, maxResults, headers)
• Combine mode config option in search.json
• Modular architecture (20 files from 1 monolith)
• 21 new integration tests

Fixes:

• .npmignore now includes all extension module files
• Publish workflow skips if version already on registry
