* Refactored Library Watcher to use Hangfire under the hood. * Support .kavitaignore at root level. * Refactored a lot of the library watching code to process faster and handle when FileSystemWatcher runs out of internal buffer space. It's still not perfect, but good enough for basic use. * Make folder watching as experimental and default it to off by default. * Revert #1479 * Tweaked the messaging for OPDS to remove a note about download role. Moved some code closer to where it's used. * Cleaned up how the events widget reports * Fixed a null issue when deleting series in the UI * Cleaned up some debug code * Added more information for when we skip a scan * Cleaned up some logging messages in CoverGen tasks * More log message tweaks * Added some debug to help identify a rare issue * Fixed a bug where save bookmarks as webp could get reset to false when saving other server settings * Updated some documentation on library watcher. * Make LibraryWatcher fire every 5 mins
