Add OTT Lounge UI, artwork enrichment, public unlock gating, and server refactor

[SasukeXDev]

Motivation

• Replace legacy Bootstrap pages with a modern OTT-style frontend and centralized templating to improve UX and reusability.
• Enrich media metadata using TMDB artwork (poster and backdrop) and include file size bytes for improved ranking and presentation.
• Implement a lightweight public unlock flow (24-hour cookie) and separate admin login/permission checks to allow public browsing while protecting admin actions.
• Consolidate rendering and routing logic to simplify static asset serving and page composition.

Description

• Introduces a new OTT UI: adds bot/server/template/* pages, bot/server/static/ott.css and bot/server/static/ott.js, and registers a static route in bot/server/__init__.py to serve assets.
• Reworks server rendering into bot/server/render_template.py with helper functions _render_base and _render_template_file and updated page flows for enter, home, playlist, index, video download and admin pages.
• Adds a public unlock gating mechanism using a timestamp cookie and functions _is_public_unlocked and _public_gate_or_none in bot/server/stream_routes.py, and separates admin login routes (/admin/login, /admin/logout) with centralized permission helpers _is_admin and _admin_forbidden.
• Modernizes route handlers in bot/server/stream_routes.py to use the public gate, unified permission checks, and to render the new templates.
• Rewrites HTML builders in bot/helper/chats.py and bot/helper/index.py to emit new OTT markup, implements rail/hero layouts and related items via related_items_html, and replaces older string templates with cleaner template.format(...) structures.
• Enhances metadata fetching: adds fetch_artwork to bot/helper/tmdb.py that returns both poster and backdrop, updates get_messages, get_files, and search to attach poster_url, backdrop_url, and size_bytes to posts, and uses fetch_artwork across helpers.
• Adds client-side behaviors and persistence: ott.js remembers selected channels and binds UI interactions; templates wire modal flows and admin actions to the new JS/CSS.
• Various utility and minor changes: caching hooks (get_cache, save_cache), image thumbnail API integration, and updated file/video page logic to include related items and external player options.

Testing

• No automated tests were available or executed for this change set.
