Add macserialjunkie spider and SQLite pipeline

Fork and refactor project for scraping macserialjunkie.com: add a new phpBB spider (uses python-dotenv for credentials, form login enabled, multiple start_urls, robust ID/time/text extraction and pagination) and an SQLitePipeline that saves posts to posts.db with a tqdm progress bar. Update settings to use the SQLite pipeline, increase concurrency, reduce download delay, disable robots.txt, set JOBDIR for resume and silence logs; add .env.example and .python-version, update README and requirements (add tqdm), tidy .gitignore, and add pyproject.toml. Also reorganize package layout (rename/move phpBB_scraper modules), remove legacy pipeline and old spider implementations, and add a dependency lock file (uv.lock).
