Subject: [PATCH] Add sonarr.sh monitor command for shows still actively airing

Migrated shows default to unmonitored/no-search since they're
back-catalog imports. For a show still marked "continuing" on TVDB
(e.g. 3 Body Problem), this flips it (and all its seasons) to
monitored so new episodes flow through the automated tv-sonarr
pipeline instead of needing a manual scan/import each time one
drops. --search optionally triggers an immediate missing-episode
search.
