Add category filtering, default to copy mode, split dev/prod compose

- Default MOVE_MODE changed to copy so qBit can continue seeding
- Add QBIT_CATEGORY env var (default "Stash") to filter torrents
- Split compose into dev (build from source) and prod (pre-built image)
- Fix Dockerfile COPY glob needing trailing slash
- Update README and summary docs

## Purpose
StashHandler sits between qBittorrent and Stash (both running in Docker). It polls qBit's API for completed torrents, hashes media files, deduplicates them via a SQLite database, and moves new files into Stash's import directory.
StashHandler sits between qBittorrent and Stash (both running in Docker). It polls qBit's API for completed torrents filtered by category, hashes media files, deduplicates them via a SQLite database, and copies new files into Stash's import directory (preserving originals for continued seeding).
**Problems solved:**
1. Deleted files in Stash don't get reimported (hash DB remembers them)
