task 7: refactor oversized functions into helpers

Refactored the following functions per CLAUDE.md (50+ line limit):

- internal/scanner/scanner.go: scanSet (192 → 56 lines)
  Extracted: ensureSet, loadExistingMedia, gatherCoverImages,
  thumbnailForVideo, thumbnailForImage, buildThumbnailPath,
  processNewFile, updateAudioThumbnails

- internal/repository/migrate.go: Migrate (134 → 23 lines)
  Extracted: enableForeignKeys, execSchema; split schema into
  tablesSchema and indexesSchema constants

- internal/config.go: LoadConfig (85 → 28 lines)
  Extracted: defaultConfig, loadNumericSettings, loadStringSettings,
  loadLogLevel, loadSecureCookies; added validLogLevels variable

- cmd/mediaplayer/main.go: run / runWithSignal (114 → 26 / 26 lines)
  Extracted: parseVersionFlag, buildLogger, wireDeps, runServer,
  ensureSignalChannel, shutdownGracefully; introduced appDeps struct

- internal/api/server.go: routes (96 → 8 lines)
  Extracted per route group: routesPublic, routesSharePublic,
  routesStatic, routesHTML, routesAuth, routesSets, routesMedia,
  routesNotes, routesProgress, routesShares, routesAdmin
  Added helpers: requireSession, requireAdmin, publicMethod

- internal/service/browse.go: BrowseSet (85 → 26 lines)
  Extracted: prefixForParent, classifyMediaPath, buildFolderMap,
  folderHasCover, buildFolders

All public interfaces remain unchanged. Tests pass: go test ./... -race -cover
