Subject: [PATCH] round1: normalize & vs and in Sonarr series title matching

get_series_id() previously stripped '&' to nothing in _norm() instead of
equating it with 'and', so a webhook title like 'Pam & Tommy' never matched
Sonarr's stored title 'Pam and Tommy'. Add a normalized-title tier (4.5)
that maps '&' -> ' and ' before comparing, applied to the primary title
match (not just the alternate-titles tier), and reuse that normalization
for tier 5's alternate-title comparison too.
