Add POST /jobs/<name>/run for the override path

Wires run_job() into the app: looks up the job (reusing the
same 404 behavior as the GET route), then spawns it via
pexpect using the job's prompt pattern and a response supplied
in the request body. Response text is per-request data, not
config, since it's inherently different every call (e.g. rip's
movie name) - see jobs.toml.example for the prompt field shape.

Does not yet handle the "no response, let the script's own
60s timeout apply" case, or rip's second (duplicate-rip)
prompt - both deliberately deferred as separate next steps.
