Default !similar now discovers similar artists/tracks, resolves each
against YouTube in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor, fades out current
playback, and starts the new playlist. Old display behavior moves to
!similar list subcommand.
New helpers: _search_queries() normalizes Last.fm/MB results into search
strings, _resolve_playlist() resolves queries to _Track objects in
parallel. Falls back to display mode when music plugin not loaded.

_current_meta now checks registry._bots for peer bot music state
when the current bot has nothing playing. Fixes merlin reporting
"Nothing playing" while derp is actively streaming.

Remove early return on missing Last.fm API key. Both commands now
fall back to MusicBrainz (mb_search_artist -> mb_artist_tags ->
mb_find_similar_recordings) when no API key is configured or when
Last.fm returns empty results. Same pattern used by discover_similar.

Every Nth autoplay pick (configurable via discover_ratio), query Last.fm
for similar tracks. When Last.fm has no key or returns nothing, fall back
to MusicBrainz tag-based recording search (no API key needed). Discovered
tracks are resolved via yt-dlp and deduplicated within the session. If
discovery fails, the kept-deck shuffle continues as before.

Covers API helpers (_get_similar_artists, _get_top_tags,
_get_similar_tracks, _search_track), config resolution, metadata
extraction from track titles, match score formatting, and both
commands (!similar, !tags) including play mode delegation, fallback
from track to artist similarity, and current-track integration.
