fix: refresh stale browse cache on track edits and allow deleting empty releases

- Add CmsTrackBrowserViewModel.Invalidate(); called from TrackEdit/BatchEdit on save or delete so album/genre cache is invalidated and re-fetches on next mode switch
- CmsAlbumBrowser now handles 0-track releases: confirm dialog + DeleteReleaseAsync instead of early return; partial-failure path also fires OnReleasesChanged to trigger cache invalidation
- TrackList.OnAlbumsChanged now calls VM.Invalidate() so genres stay fresh after any album delete
- UnifiedTrackService.DeleteAsync cascades release soft-delete when last live track is removed (non-fatal; logs on failure)
- New DELETE api/track/release/{id} endpoint (ApiKeyAuthorize) for direct release soft-delete
- EF migration SoftDeleteOrphanedReleases backfills existing orphaned release rows via raw SQL (data-only, no schema change)
